NVIDIA finally supports the Steam Deck.

This week, Nvidia’s Geforce NOW and “Junk-Store” introduce major advancements in playing non-Steam and incompatible games on the Deck. Plus, two small but meaningful features hit the Deck’s beta client including quick Southpaw settings and external drive formatting in Game Mode! We’ll talk about them. And a new Proton update makes some new games (and some old favorites) playable. Let’s get into the news!
