Can you play Steam games on Switch?

Nope, you can't directly play Steam games on a Nintendo Switch because they operate on completely different platforms. Steam games are designed for PC (and by extension, the Steam Deck), while the Switch has its own set of games in the Nintendo ecosystem. However, some crafty folks have found workarounds using streaming services, but that's more of a hack and not officially supported, which might not give you the smoothest gameplay experience.

Technically no, but where there's a will, there's a way. You can stream your Steam games to a device and then capture that on your Switch in a roundabout, kinda hacky method. It's not perfect and definitely not what the Switch was made for, but it's an option for the tinkerers out there.

Absolutely not, and honestly, why would you want to? The Switch and Steam are worlds apart in terms of their game libraries and intended gaming experiences.
