Hub 03 · Steam Terminal
The library that follows you.
Valve built a store, then an OS, then a handheld to carry it. Everything Steam, from sale calendars to Proton grades.

Steam Deck OLED has a 1280 × 800 display. Battery life is Valve’s 3–12-hour estimate and varies by workload. Check each game’s compatibility rating; a Steam library is not a promise that every game runs.

Terminal tips
Wishlist everything, buy nothing
With eligible notifications enabled, Steam can notify you about wishlist discounts. Delivery is not an instant-price guarantee; review notification settings and the store price.
Check ProtonDB before you doubt
Proton helps supported Windows games run on Linux. Start with Valve’s Verified, Playable, Unsupported or Unknown rating; community ProtonDB reports add useful, unofficial context.
Family Sharing got real
Steam Families supports up to six close family members in one household, sharing eligible games with separate saves. To play the same game simultaneously, each player needs an available copy in the family library. Not every title supports sharing.
Know the refund policy
Valve generally considers game refunds requested within 14 days of purchase and with less than two hours played. Exceptions and content-specific rules apply; repeated abuse can affect eligibility. Read the official policy.
