The community of PC Gaming players is nowhere near jumping into the world of portable consoles after the great popularity of the Steam Deck, although the popular version is in the hands of the first consumers, those who use it. They reserved more than a quarter ago after being announced by Valve.
Something that seems quite curious to us is that the device has a huge list of compatible games within Steam, and with the upcoming arrival of Windows as an optional operating system, this list will only increase.
Even with everything, neither Gears 5, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Halo Infinite or any other game in the Halo saga will be available to play on Valve’s laptop, with this we give way to the much-loved Master Chief saga. These four important Microsoft games are not compatible with the Steam Deck, as the company has shared in its list of available titles. This is the full list shared by Microsoft:

- Psychonauts 2
- Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
- The Evil Within
- Fallout Shelter
- Prey
- Battletoads
- Max: The Curse of Brotherhood
playable
- Sea of Thieves
- Fallout 4
- ForzaHorizon 5
- ForzaHorizon 4
- Quantum Break
- State of Decay: YOSE
Unsupported
- gear 5
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection
- halo-infinite
- Microsoft Flight Simulator X
The reason given by the company is the anti-cheat program, something similar to the reasons why Fortnite is also not available to play on the device. Steam Deck is now available to all users who reserved their first batch.
Analysts have been very positive about its great power and ease of use, although the battery seems to be its most divisive point, due to its short duration and the difficulties that its replacement can entail in the event of failure. We hope that all of you who have pre-ordered the Valve console will have a great experience with it.
