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.

I’m not surprised. The steamdeck is the only way that I game any longer. I think their approach to hardware upgrades not being frequent is a great idea. It lets devs have target hardware for the games to work on.

I couldn’t be happier with my steamdeck and will get the next one on day one.

I just got the OLED last week. My PC couldn't run baldurs gate so this was my ez fix for that, and I wanted a new toy for remote play.

I've been really enjoying it. A few bugs (offline reboot got stuck looking for updates, and BG3 seems to have issues with controller connection?) but overall really fun. The handheld feels nice too, better than my switch.

Bg3 runs pretty good on it. There are some slowdowns, but it doesn’t really matter in this kind of game.

I got obsessed with that game, but kind of burnt out after I finished act 2.

Yeah, I played through the whole thing on my steam deck and it was mostly a great experience.

The last act was, performance wise, pretty rough though. Maybe there was some setting I could have changed to make it smoother, but the framerate was only about half what I got during the other acts.
