RuneScape: Dragonwilds on Steam Deck & Steam Machine: 1.0 release performance

RuneScape: Dragonwilds has left early access and launched its 1.0 release, so we went back to see how it holds up on the Steam Deck and the Steam Machine. The good news for anyone who put time in during early access: your save carries over, and you get all the benefits of the new additions […]

WARDOGS on Steam Deck: playable via GeForce NOW

WARDOGS is officially up and running, but if you were hoping to jump in natively on Steam Deck or Steam Machine, there’s a catch. The game’s anti-cheat doesn’t work under Proton or Linux, so SteamOS support isn’t happening any time soon. The good news is that WARDOGS launched day and date on GeForce NOW, which […]

Gunman Contracts VR on Steam Machine: Pico 4 Ultra performance

Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone just launched in Early Access, so I put the Steam Machine through its paces running this VR-and-non-VR hitman shooter, streaming to a Pico 4 Ultra via Steam Link. Non-VR is flawless. VR took a fair bit of trial and error to get right. Non-VR runs great on Steam Machine Running […]

HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush just launched, and I couldn’t resist jumping into Milestone’s open-world take on the Hot Wheels universe to see how it holds up on the Steam Deck. Here’s how I set it up and what it’s like racing across its four islands on the go. Best settings: why I just leave everything […]

Valheim 1.0 on Steam Deck: Getting a Stable 60fps

Valheim just hit its 1.0 release with the Deep North update, and it’s already pulled in over 160,000 concurrent players, a new all-time peak for the game. I’ve been testing how the full release holds up on the Steam Deck, and the short version is that it plays a lot better than it used to, […]

Bodycam on Steam Deck and Steam Machine: Performance and Best Settings

Bodycam just got a huge update, so I went back and retested it on Steam Deck, then took it for a spin on the Steam Machine to see how much better it can look. It’s officially unsupported on Steam Deck, but whether you actually play it there comes down to personal taste rather than anything […]

Tyr on Steam Deck: Intense 8v8 Tank Combat

I’ve been dropping into Tyr on my Steam Deck, and it’s easily one of the more interesting free-to-play shooters I’ve picked up recently. It’s an 8v8 tank arena game from Stoke Games that just hit Early Access, and instead of the usual twitch-shooter reflexes, it leans hard into positioning and teamwork. What Tyr actually is […]

I’ve fallen behind on these roundups, so I’m kicking things back off with a bigger batch than usual: 20 games that picked up Verified or Playable status on Steam Deck and Steam Machine over the last three weeks. It’s a mixed bag this time, from a AAA hunting sequel to a cereal-box card sim, so […]

NBA 2K27 on Steam Deck: Performance Review and Best Settings

NBA 2K27 landed with Valve’s Verified badge already attached, so naturally the first thing I wanted to know was whether that badge actually holds up once you’re out of the default settings. Short answer: mostly yes, but not with the preset Valve hands you out of the box. Ditch the Handheld Preset Booting in with […]

Onimusha: Way of the Sword on Steam Deck: Best Settings

I put a lot more time into Onimusha: Way of the Sword since my first look at it on the Steam Deck. Back then I was only a little way in, and I’d heard the performance changes once you’re past the early stretch, so I wanted to go back with about 2-3 hours on the […]
