Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga works great for an ‘unsupported’ Steam Deck game

Valve Software has a spectrum of support for the various Steam games that you can play on Steam Deck. Many games are optimized for the handheld and many more at least earn Valve’s “playable” badge. But so far, Valve has classified recent release Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga as totally “unsupported” on the Deck. And that means most people should avoid getting that game for the portable computer. But I’m not most people. I’ve played a handful of hours, and I’ve come away happy with the experience so far.

This new Lego Star Wars game is one that fans were hotly anticipating and for good reason. It combines that classic collect-everything action of earlier Lego games with a third-person action-game perspective. Developer Traveler’s Tales also gave the series a significant visual overhaul for this completely fresh take on The Skywalker Saga.
