Make sure you're connected to a fast Wi-Fi network! Sometimes, switching to 5 GHz can make a big difference.

Make sure your Steam Deck firmware is updated. Old firmware can sometimes cause slowdowns.

If you're a Steam player, you need to download the Playbite app!

One of those prizes is the official Steam gift card, which you can win and use to get anything you want essentially for free!

In case you’re wondering, this is how it works:

Playbite makes money from (not super annoying) ads and (totally optional) in-app purchases. The app then uses that money to reward players like you with prizes!
