The Steam Deck is a handheld PC gaming device developed by Valve Corporation, first released in 2022, that runs SteamOS and allows players to play Steam library titles on the go. It uses the Proton compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux, and Valve provides a suite of developer tools—including the SteamOS Devkit Client and performance telemetry features—to help developers optimize and verify their games for the platform.
