Technically, yes, the Steam Deck can run VR, but it's like strapping a toaster to your face and expecting a gourmet meal. It's not built for VR, so while it can connect to VR headsets and run some less demanding VR titles, the experience won't be as smooth or immersive as a dedicated VR setup. So, manage your expectations and maybe save the VR for a beefier PC.

Actually, I've tried it! Hooked Steam Deck up to my VR headset, and to my surprise, some games worked okay. But let's be real, it's not the ideal VR machine. Think of it as a fun experiment, not your go-to VR gaming setup.
