If it works fine for you (controls are good, etc.), then Valve must have fixed something! Hooray! If not, follow these steps. I’m just going to help you avoid some of the struggle I had setting it up: One of the things I am most excited to play is Psychonauts because I want to finally see if the QoL updates improve my feelings about the Meat Circus but also because I am inclined to think playing handheld will allow for a more enjoyable experience. I’m in it for the indies and retro games. We are not so different in what we want from the Deck.

(Plus you have the option of using the Steam Deck to create the recovery device, which isn’t an option once you need the recovery device… that may be a factor for folks who don’t have an alternate PC handy.) That way if something goes wrong you can plug it in, boot from it, and fix the issue.

If you plan to hack around with stuff in desktop mode pretty often, you might just go ahead and set up a recovery device ahead of time.

Thankfully the “reinstall SteamOS” option retained all my data (including apps and saves and stuff), but it was a pain! I had to make a recovery device on a USB stick and reinstall the OS. But there’s also a dark side of things moving so fast: Recently I made the mistake of clicking an “update” dialog in desktop mode that I’d already clicked in gaming mode, and when the machine attempted to apply an update it had already applied, it got stuck in an endless boot loop. Part of the fun of the device is seeing how it grows and what people pull off with it.

Persona 4 Golden went from completely broken to getting the green checkmark last week, Valve worked to get Elden Ring working better, and Microsoft provides instructions on how to stream games via Xcloud. I had to set up all my emulators “by hand,” but now there are tools like EmuDeck that automate most of it. When the Steam Deck first arrived, things like Heroic Launcher and Primehack were much tougher, but now they’ve been added to the desktop mode’s “Discover” store so they’re very easy to install. It’s also so new that things are changing week to week.
