Is it safe to play Steam Deck while charging?
I've been gaming on my Steam Deck during charge sessions since I got it, and no problems here. It does get a bit warm, but that's normal for most gaming devices. Just don't block the vents, and you'll be golden.

Yes, but keep an eye on the heat. It's safe, but electronics can get warm when you're pushing them hard while they're charging. If it gets too hot for your comfort, take a break.
Totally safe, mate! Playing on your Steam Deck while it's charging is just fine. Valve designed it to handle gaming and charging at the same time, so game on without worry! Just make sure you're using the official charger or one that matches the original specs to avoid any issues.
Actually, I prefer not to. Feels like it stresses the battery more, but that's just me. Everyone else seems to do it just fine.
