Does the Steam Deck use cloud gaming?

Best Answer

Nope, the Steam Deck doesn't rely on cloud gaming. It's all about running games directly on the hardware, kinda like a portable PC for your Steam library. So, you download your games onto the Deck and play them from there!

Actually, the Steam Deck is designed to play games natively, not through cloud gaming. It's got its own built-in hardware capable of running games without needing an internet connection for streaming.

Nah, the Steam Deck is more like a handheld gaming computer. No cloud gaming here - you download your games and play them offline if you want.
