Windows 11 and Windows 10 work on the Steam Deck with official Vale drivers, too. It's not as simple as hitting a download button, though. In this guide, we're going to show you how to install Windows on the Steam Deck, both to the internal solid-state drive (SSD) and from a microSD card.
VVVVVV, one of the best platformers of all time, is now Steam Deck verified
12.01.2024 - 00:23 / rockpapershotgun.com / Best / Deck
VVVVVV was part of the initial wave of indie platformers, which means it was released in 2010 and is now a certified classic. To celebrate its 14th birthday, developer Terry Cavanagh has dropped an update which makes it Steam Deck verified and professionally translates it into 21 new languages.
It's been a while since I played VVVVVV and I don't remember it being particularly verbal, but its newly supported languages are: Catalan, Arabic, Welsh, German, Esperanto, Spanish, French, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Russian, Silesian, Turkish, Ukranian, Chinese (simplified) and Chinese (tradiitional).
The full 2.4 changelog includes a host of bug fixes and upgrades. It's not clear what's changed to earn the verified status, but the only eplicit mention of the Steam Deck is that the game will now launch in fullscreen by default when booted on a Deck or in Steam's Big Picture mode.
VVVVVV was made open source back in 2020, letting anyone tinker with its code to produce updates. This produced its previous major update in 2021 - its first in seven years - which added 60fps support, new graphics options and hundreds of bug fixes.
This newest update is likewise the work of volunteers tinkering with its open source code.
VVVVVV is a platformer in which you can't jump. Instead, pressing a button flips gravity, causing your interstellar explorer protagonist to flip between the ground and the ceiling of whatever single-screen room you're in. This is your one ability in overcoming its various platforming challenges, and its delightful, particularly when paired with its Spectrum-throwback graphics and propulsive chitptune soundtrack. Fourteen years later, it remains on our list of the best platformers for a reason.

10 best Sega Saturn games, ranked
The Sega Saturn never stood a chance. From day one it was hobbled by a surprise launch annoying gaming retailers and was soon in a one-sided brawl against Sony’s all-conquering PlayStation. The Saturn was comparatively more difficult to develop for, couldn’t push polygons as efficiently, and was soon cratering in sales.

The 15 best Nintendo Wii games, ranked
The Wii was a breath of fresh air when Nintendo launched it in 2006. The video game giant’s commitment to bucking the trend had been clear for years, but its previous console, the GameCube, hadn’t paid off. Despite its cute design and emphasis on fun, its unique game discs and lack of online multiplayer meant that it struggled against Microsoft and Sony. With Wii, Nintendo’s creative instinct returned, and it got the contrary bit right.

James Gunn's DCU Video Games Are Coming At The Best - And Worst - Time
The upcoming DC Universe media franchise helmed by James Gunn is going to include more than just movies, and the development of video games within the DCU sphere is coming at a particularly interesting time. DC already has a long history of video game adaptations, from the widely mocked to the celebrated titles. Considering the lack of any major games set in the recently concluded DC Extended Universe, there's not much precedent for the venture into DCU games, raising a lot of interesting questions about what the slate will look like.
