Gamescom Showed Me That Devs Really Care About Steam Deck Compatibility - Steam Deck HQ

Gamescom has been amazing so far, but the really amazing part has been seeing just how many developers and publishers care about the Steam Deck.

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.

      Bought one as a present from my own birthday. Finally I don’t use it much, but as you said It showed me that Linux gaming was here. I switched all my computers to Linux and keep gaming.

      The way it brought to light how viable Linux gaming is, and make it more widely adopted, has been awesome.

      As a fellow Linux guy, it’s just great. I have had to do no hacking and bare-bones minimal tweaking to get things how I want. 90% of games work out of the box, even mouse-heavy games like RimWorld. I just love it. I sit at a desk all day for work. I don’t want to do that after. The steam deck gives me almost my entire steam library and I can lounge wherever I feel like with it. I <3 you Steamdeck.
