Controls and readability

  • Steam Input lets you remap controller buttons, gyro, and touch menus.
  • Smaller UI text may be hard to read on Deck's 7-inch screen; look for in-game scale options.
  • Some games benefit from a community controller layout — browse the layout tab on the Steam page.

Before you play on Deck

  • Check install size and leave room for patches.
  • Open controller layout options before your first session.
  • Test text readability in menus before committing to a long play session.
  • Use the store and source links on the game page when ratings are unknown.
