The Steam Deck has been out for a while now and it has received plenty of praise since it’s a portable gaming PC that can hold almost all of your Steam games. It offers a clean, console-like interface where you can easily access your games while still offering a Desktop Mode where you can browse the internet and do downloads.
But one of the minor flaws in the Steam Deck is that not every Steam game is playable on it. That said, most of them are, so you’ll never run out of games to play. Plus, Steam is constantly getting new releases so it makes the Deck experience that much cooler.
With that being said, if you’re itching for some NBA action on your Deck, you may be wondering if NBA 2K is playable and yes, both NBA 2K23 and NBA 2K24 work on the Deck. In fact, although they play like the PS4/Xbox One versions of the games, they run much smoother on the Deck than they do on the consoles. The frames per second are really, really impressive here.
Also, good news if you have some of the older NBA 2K games as these also work on the Deck (despite them saying “Unsupported”). Just keep in mind that 2K23 and 2K24 are the only ones currently available on Steam. Any others you’ll have to buy keys for on third-party websites.
