Can the Steam Deck play all Steam games?
Almost! The Steam Deck is super neat because it's designed to run your Steam library, but there's a slight catch. While most games will run just fine, especially since it's a powerful little machine, not every single game is guaranteed to work perfectly out of the box due to compatibility issues or the game's system requirements. Valve's been working on making as many games as possible compatible though, through the Proton compatibility layer which helps Windows games run on the Linux-based SteamOS.

It can't play EVERY game on Steam, but it sure tries hard! Compatibility ratings on Steam (like Verified, Playable, Unsupported) help you know what to expect. So, before you go on an underground adventure in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or plan your next city in Cities: Skylines, check those ratings!
Nah, it doesn't. But it gets pretty close. Think of it as a 'best effort' kinda deal.
