Can a Steam Deck Play Any Game?
The Steam Deck can play a vast majority of games on Steam, thanks to its powerful hardware and SteamOS. However, compatibility might vary for games with heavy system requirements or those that rely heavily on touch input. Steam does have a 'Verified' system to highlight games that work flawlessly on the device. So, while not 'any' game, it's pretty darn close!

Not exactly every game. Some games, especially newer AAA titles with intense graphics, might not run as smoothly on the Steam Deck or may require settings adjustments for an optimal experience. It's always best to check Steam's compatibility notes for the game you're interested in.
Absolutely not. It's great, but let's not pretend it can run every game out there. Compatibility and performance will vary.
