Over the last week or so, I went to Gamescom to represent SteamDeckHQ, and it was a blast. I got to see so many awesome games and talk to many developers and publishers, and the majority of them were either very receptive, optimistic, or have already started implementing Steam Deck support!

In our article, we go over some examples, as well as me being known as "The Steam Deck Guy." Though one I am happy to share is that the upcoming Epic Mickey Rebrushed will have full Steam Deck support at launch, and playing it on the Deck at Gamescom was phenomenal.

There's much more we go into detail with in the article, but in the end, it's looking very optimistic for Steam Deck support for future games.

Hey everyone! So, with the release of our guide about Junk Store, we got a lot of people asking about playing Kingdom Hearts on the Steam Deck. So, we took some time and created two guides to go over how to get the games working on the Deck!

The guides are separated based on two different methods that are used to get all the games running. One method works with 1.5+2.5 and Dream Drop Distance, while the second method fixes Kingdom Hearts 3, Melody of Memory, and 0.2 Fragmentary Passage.

Pretty amazing to hear how good the game is on the Steam Deck and in general. There's a reason this is the most wishlisted game, and it sounds like it is hitting the marks!
