How to Play Steam Games on Switch
Officially, you can't play Steam games directly on a Nintendo Switch because they're two different ecosystems. BUT, there's a workaround using 'Steam Link'. First, install Steam Link on a compatible device (like a smartphone or tablet). Then, connect your Switch in dock mode and use it as a display through an HDMI connection. You stream the game from your PC to the device with Steam Link, and then project it onto your Switch screen. It's a bit of a setup, but where there's a will, there's a way!

Just stream it with Steam Link! Make sure your PC and the device you install Steam Link on are on the same network. It's like a magic trick to get PC games running on your Switch screen. I've done it, and while it's not perfect, it definitely scratches that itch to play Steam games on a handheld device.
You technically can't. The Nintendo Switch doesn't natively support Steam, which is a bummer. However, some enthusiasts use methods like streaming via Steam Link to get around this, but it's not straightforward and requires additional hardware.
