    Epic Library

    • Ensure Show Installed is not selected.
    • Clear any text from the search box to see all games.

    Note: Games requiring the EA app or Origin will not appear in your library due to lack of support from Epic/Legendary.

  13. Install a Game to Test
    Choose a game from your library to install. We recommend starting with a game that is known to work well on the Steam Deck.

    • Visit our Games Tested page for a list of games that are known to work.
    • Avoid choosing a large or complex game for the first test.

    Tip: Some games may require additional tweaks to run properly on the Steam Deck. Doom 64 is a great test game if you have it.

    Once you’ve tested a smaller game and it works, you’re good to go!
