Can you play any Steam game on the Steam Deck?
Almost! The Steam Deck runs on a Linux-based OS, using Proton to make Windows games compatible. While the vast majority of games work great, some with heavy DRM or anti-cheat measures might give you a bit of trouble. It's always a good idea to check the Steam Deck compatibility for your favorites before diving in.

I've been using my Steam Deck for a bit, and it's been a smooth ride for most of my library. Played through the latest Doom without a hitch. Just some older titles with weird DRM don't play nice.
Hot take: Nah, not all of them. But honestly, the big hitters and most indie games run just fine. It's the super niche ones you gotta watch out for.
Steam Deck can't run games that require specific Windows features or have heavy DRM restrictions. But, Valve is constantly working to increase compatibility, so keep an eye out for updates!
