Does SteamUnlocked work on Steam Deck?

SteamUnlocked games aren't officially supported on the Steam Deck, cuz it's a platform for downloading PC games for free, which sounds sketchy but hey, some people live on the edge. The Steam Deck runs on a custom SteamOS that's based on Linux, so not all games will work perfectly without some tinkering. You might get some games to run, but it's a roll of the dice and definitely not what the Deck's creators had in mind.

Not directly, no. SteamUnlocked offers PC games that are meant to be played on a Windows system. Since the Steam Deck uses SteamOS, you're gonna need to put in extra work to make anything from SteamUnlocked run, if it runs at all. Plus, it's a bit of a gray area legally speaking, so you're better off sticking to games from the official Steam Store.

I鈥檝e actually tried it, and let's just say it's not the smoothest experience. Had to jump through hoops to get a game to start, and even then, the performance was iffy. Stick to legit Steam Store games for a hassle-free life.

If you value your Steam Deck, stay clear of unofficial sources. Not worth risking the performance or stability. Just my two cents.
