Can you play unsupported games on Steam Deck?
Sure thing! Playing unsupported games on Steam Deck can be a bit of a hacky process, but it's doable. The Deck runs on a Linux-based OS called SteamOS, but you can switch it out for Windows or use compatibility layers like Proton (already built into SteamOS) to play games not officially supported. Just be prepared for some tinkering to get everything working smoothly.

Absolutely! Many games not officially supported on the Steam Deck can still run using compatibility tools like Proton. Steam Deck is pretty versatile, so with a bit of patience, you can get a lot of those unsupported titles up and running. Remember, performance and gameplay experience can vary, so it's a bit of an adventure.
Nope. Stick to the list. Unsupported means trouble.
I've been playing a bunch of games that aren't on the official Steam Deck compatibility list and, no joke, most of them work fine. Sure, some needed a few tweaks, but that's part of the fun. If you enjoy messing around with settings, you'll likely get your 'unsupported' game to run.
