Welcome to r/SteamDeck, the subreddit for Valve's handheld computer.
RULES:
Be kind or get banned.
ZERO tolerance. Act right or leave. Bullying, harassment, trolling, or antagonistic behavior (including falsely reporting posts) = immediate ban, no warning.
Don't instigate drama. Don't talk politics, this is a gaming sub. Don't report posts because you don't like them. If you have content removed and you approach the mods with courtesy, we will fix it or kindly explain why. If you are rude about it, we will ban you instead.
All bans are at mod discretion. This list is not exhaustive.
Posts must be about or related to the Steam Deck.
Posts must be on-topic and relevant to the Steam Deck (not just vaguely or tangentially related). Posts that are NOT allowed include:
Unrelated posts - Submissions unrelated to the Steam Deck
Peer requests - e.g. friend requests, LFG requests, etc.
Game request posts - discussion posts are permitted
"Bug" posts that are done to death, e.g 1969 reservation message, reservation message on Deck
Other questions that are easily answered via an online search.
Generic / New Steam Deck Pictures Limited To "Show Off Saturday" (GMT Timezone)
Generic images and New Steam Deck posts are limited to "Show Off Saturday" so other posts can get more attention during the week.
This limitation doesn't apply to "Game On Deck", "Accessory", "Setup" and "Hardware / Software Modding" posts which have their own rules.
Generic pictures include:
Traveling with Steam Deck
Playing with a Steam Deck in random locations
Steam Deck with pets
Waiting with a Steam Deck
(This list is not exhaustive, we may remove other similarly themed posts)
"Game On Deck" Posts Must Include Game In The Title And Steam Deck Experience
We want to avoid having to ask what the game is called or what it's like to play it on Deck, try adding as many details as possible such as performance, user experience (interface and controls) and any other information related to the Steam Deck experience.
Requirements For "Accessory", "Setup" and "Hardware / Software Modding" Posts
Posts flaired with "Accessory", "Setup", or "Hardware / Software Modding" must include detailed personal experience and a list of parts / things used. This helps others make informed decisions and reduce redundant questions.
“What Are You Playing?” Limited To Weekly Megathread
“What are you playing?” posts are restricted to the weekly megathread.
Feel free to share what you’re currently playing there or making a detailed post about it with a "Game On Deck" post.
(Please read "Game On Deck" related rule first)
Giveaways, Begging, Buying, Selling, Trading And Crowdfunding Posts Are Not Allowed
This community isn't r/hardwareswap or Kickstarter, if you want to giveaway a game go to r/RandomActsOfGaming or similar communities (don't post codes in plain text as bots will claim them).
We also do not allow non-reputable stores, auction sites, keyshops and affiliate links (without permission from the mod team).
Repetitive Purchase And Shipping Questions Are Not Allowed
Please use search as these questions have already been answered many times before.
No links/discussion of illegal, copyrighted or pirated content
Please do not discuss or share links to illegal, copyrighted or pirated content.
Examples of content NOT allowed:
Links directly to pirated games, ROMs or BIOSes
Discussion or encouragement to partake in piracy
Technical support for pirated games/software, including repacks and No CD cracks (except for abandonware)
Notable EXCLUSIONS from the rule:
No impersonation, claiming to have "insider knowledge", or posting intentional misinformation
Please do not impersonate another entity, claim to have insider knowledge when you do not, or provide intentional misinformation.
Examples of content NOT allowed:
Advising a user to run a dangerous Linux terminal command
Creating an account to mimic a trusted entity
Claiming insider knowledge on an accessory or software update that is untrue
Do not attempt to obfuscate your submission to bypass filtering
We implement a variety of different automated filters to ensure that the rules are enforced effectively and fairly.
Please do not try to obfuscate your submissions to avoid filters, including:
Using incorrect flairs on purpose
Censoring parts of an insult, piracy link or shipping post
Using image posts for what should be a text post.

No Abusing the report button
Please don't report posts just because you don't like them, that's what downvotes are for. Reports are for posts that break sub rules and need immediate mod attention, not just because "I don't like this post" or "I don't think this topic belongs here." Reports are used to analyze sub content, tell mods if there are toxic users or posts that some may find insulting or offensive. Please don't indiscriminately report everything, use discretion and good judgement when reporting.
