The Steam Deck, a versatile handheld gaming device, is gaining popularity among gamers eager to expand its game library capabilities. While SteamOS powers this compact console, users have discovered that installing Windows on the Steam Deck significantly broadens their gaming horizons due to the wider compatibility of Windows with various titles.
Enhancing Game Compatibility
Initially, the Steam Deck's Linux-based SteamOS supports a robust selection of games. However, not all popular titles are compatible with this operating system. By opting to install Windows, users unlock the potential to play a wider array of games that are unavailable on SteamOS. This includes big names such as EA Sports WRC, recognized as a leading rally game with a comprehensive campaign experience.
Moreover, the strategic shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 becomes accessible, offering an enthralling multiplayer experience alongside its engaging campaign mode. Fans of high-paced action and excitement can also dive into Fortnite, a beloved title that gains further appeal when accessed through Windows on the Steam Deck.
Diverse Gaming Experience
With the installation of Windows, gamers can indulge in a more diverse catalog, enhancing the Steam Deck's utility. Beyond the standout titles mentioned, players can explore the vivid landscapes of The Crew Motorfest with its noteworthy driving mechanics and stunning visuals or take to the streets in Grand Theft Auto Online, a game only playable on the Windows platform due to compatibility constraints.
The broadened access also includes F1 24, the tactical challenges of Rainbow Six Siege, the fantasy landscapes of Lost Ark, and the competitive matches of EA Sports FC 25, further cementing the Steam Deck's reputation as a comprehensive gaming solution.
