Once you've logged into Steam Deck, your entire Steam Library shows up, just like any other PC. You'll be able to find your collections and favorites - exactly where you left them.
Steam just works on Deck.
No matter how you prefer to interact with Steam on Deck—thumbsticks, trackpad, touchscreen, or mouse and keyboard—it just works.
You won't need directions.
Pull up the main menu with a press of the Steam button to access the Library, Store, Community, etc.
Important stuff is always available.
The Quick Access menu is your dedicated source for notifications, friends, peripherals and important settings.
Check your notifications, see what time it is, and message friends without leaving your game.
Find what you've been looking for.

A new Steam operating system
On Steam Deck, your games run on a different operating system than the one on your desktop PC. It's a new version of SteamOS, built with Steam Deck in mind and optimized for a handheld gaming experience. It comes with Proton, a compatibility layer that makes it possible to run your games without any porting work needed from developers. For Deck, we're vastly improving Proton's game compatibility and support for anti-cheat solutions by working directly with the vendors. “Hold on to your butts!”
It’s a Linux system, you know this!
The new version of SteamOS is optimized for handheld gaming, and it won't get in your way with other stuff. But if you want to get your hands dirty, head on out to the desktop.
Get your hands on Deck!
