If you are looking for a spot away from Reddit to see what is happening with SteamDeckHQ, check out some awesome deals, and discuss gaming/user configurations for the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and more, this is where to be!

We are still getting a lay of the land and discovering Lemmy and its capabilities, so we will need a little time to fine-tune the rules and discussions, but we are working on it!

All the Windows OS drivers for the Steam Deck OLED were released, except for the speakers for the device. But now, the driver is here so people can install Windows...if they want to!

At Gamescom, we got a chance to take a look at the upcoming souls-like from NEXON: The First Berserker: Khazan, and we have some thoughts on it. You can read about those in the article below, including the part where we got confirmation that NEXON is working on Steam Deck support for the game!

Over the last week or so, I went to Gamescom to represent SteamDeckHQ, and it was a blast. I got to see so many awesome games and talk to many developers and publishers, and the majority of them were either very receptive, optimistic, or have already started implementing Steam Deck support!

In our article, we go over some examples, as well as me being known as "The Steam Deck Guy." Though one I am happy to share is that the upcoming Epic Mickey Rebrushed will have full Steam Deck support at launch, and playing it on the Deck at Gamescom was phenomenal.

There's much more we go into detail with in the article, but in the end, it's looking very optimistic for Steam Deck support for future games.

We had the incredible opportunity to review Black Myth: Wukong ahead of its release and verify that it’s actually playable on the Steam Deck! It does need some tweaks and compromises, but it can be played on the go! Check out our written and video reviews on it to see what we thought and our recommended settings:

Hey everyone! So, with the release of our guide about Junk Store, we got a lot of people asking about playing Kingdom Hearts on the Steam Deck. So, we took some time and created two guides to go over how to get the games working on the Deck!

The guides are separated based on two different methods that are used to get all the games running. One method works with 1.5+2.5 and Dream Drop Distance, while the second method fixes Kingdom Hearts 3, Melody of Memory, and 0.2 Fragmentary Passage.

As the title says! The Junk Store Decky Plugin has officially launched into 1.0, and it allows you to access your Epic Games library directly in Steam Deck's game mode in a nice and clean way, similar to the regular Steam library.

This guide shows you how to do it and fix the Epic Login issue.

Pretty amazing to hear how good the game is on the Steam Deck and in general. There's a reason this is the most wishlisted game, and it sounds like it is hitting the marks!

Expect solid 30 FPS gameplay with decent visuals and large battery drain. This will most likely get better as the game is optimized throughout early access.
