Of course! Steam Deck's desktop mode lets you download and run apps outside of games. It's basically a portable PC!

Yup, you can! Switch to desktop mode, and you'll have access to a full Linux environment. Get your apps from the Discover store or download them directly.

If you're a Steam player, you need to download the Playbite app!

Playbite is like an arcade in your phone: you get to play all kinds of fun and simple games, compete with friends and others, and win cool prizes from all your favorite brands!

One of those prizes is the official Steam gift card, which you can win and use to get anything you want essentially for free!

In case you’re wondering, this is how it works:

Playbite makes money from (not super annoying) ads and (totally optional) in-app purchases. The app then uses that money to reward players like you with prizes!

Download Playbite for free, available on the App Store and Play Store!
