Steam Deck won't run PlayStation games out of the box since it's built for Steam's PC game library. That said, dedicated gamers have found ways to emulate PlayStation titles, but keep performance expectations in check and be mindful of the legal aspects of emulation.

Short answer: No, not officially. But yes, through the power of emulation if you're tech-savvy. Just tread carefully.

Not directly, no. The Steam Deck is designed to play games from your Steam library which is primarily PC games. However, with some technical know-how, you can use emulation software to run PlayStation games on it. Just remember, emulation falls into a legal gray area and performance may vary.

It鈥檚 a no-go, folks. Steam Deck is all about PC games. Looking to play PlayStation games? Better stick with your PS console.
