Valve has introduced a new feature for Steam Deck that tells players if a game’s review was mainly done on the handheld device.
The news came out on the
. From now on, you’ll see an icon if a reviewer mostly played the game on Steam Deck.
Good morning! We’ve just shipped a new feature on Steam that shows when a customer review was written by someone who played primarily on Steam Deck. Keep an eye out for the Deck icon to see how these players reviewed the game, and let us know what you think!

This is useful because some games run smoother on Steam Deck than others. Now users can tell if a good or bad review was from someone using the handheld. It adds to the current system that shows if games are Verified, Playable, Unsupported, or Unknown on Deck.
We like this feature as it makes things clearer for gamers.
The Steam Deck can handle big games like Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Elden Ring without much trouble.
