Short answer: Yes, but it's complicated. Not all games are optimized for the Steam Deck, so while you can technically launch any game from your Steam library, your mileage may vary in terms of performance and playability.

The Steam Deck is a powerhouse of versatility when it comes to game compatibility, but not every single game can be played flawlessly out of the box. While Valve has made serious efforts to ensure a vast majority of games run smoothly through its Proton compatibility layer, some titles, especially those with heavy DRM or anti-cheat software, might not work perfectly. So, while you can technically launch any game, the real question is whether it'll run well or is officially supported.

Totally playable, but watch out for those anti-cheat games. Learned that the hard way trying to run my fave FPS. Still, pretty impressive what this little device can do.
