Sounds like your Steam Deck is acting up! Try restarting it or go into the settings to recalibrate the gyroscope.

Had the same issue! A reset usually fixes it. If not, there might be a software update you missed. Check for updates in the settings.

Maybe it's time for a system update? Sometimes the orientation sensor gets buggy and needs a little nudge.

Check your settings for screen orientation. You might have accidentally switched it to portrait mode without realizing it.

Quick fix: Restart the Steam Deck and the screen should go back to landscape. Worked for me!
