Welcome to Steam Deck Academy, where we take the microfibre cloth of understanding and wipe away the smudgy touchscreen fingerprints of handheld gaming ignorance. Here, eager students – that’s you, I’m assuming – can feast their minds on all theSteam Deckguides, explainers, and investigations that we’ve produced, as well as further instructive pieces to come.

This project was born from both a belief and a concern. The belief is that the Steam Deck is very much a PC, and like all PCs, it hides its secrets well. It’s brimming with possibilities - to play more games, to install new apps, or to fine-tune how it runs - but with only a cursory built-in tutorial, the Deck can be frustratingly opaque on how you can actually seize them. I’ve always wanted RPS’s hardware coverage to feeluseful, including to readers without much interest in the techy side of PC gaming, and helping you to get the most out of a Steam Deck (orSteam Deck OLED) fits right into that.
Read on, then, for all our Steam Deck lessons, and look out for more to be added in the future. Tuition is free, though I can’t promise cheaper lager in the union bar.
