Phantom Fury is a new FPS from Slipgate Ironworks and 3D Realms, taking place a few years after Ion Fury and it's going to be Steam Deck Verified for release.

Noita is something really special, a roguelite game where every pixel is physically simulated and it's easily one of the best games ever made. It's grown again with another big free upgrade out with the Noita Epilogue 2 Update.

ProtonUp-Qt is back for another update, remaining as one of the easiest ways to install extra compatibility tools on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux with version 2.9.2 out now.
