During the Christmas break from work, I spent a lot of time getting reacquainted with mySteam Deck.
It’s been neglected a little of late, not least because I also recently acquired anROG Ally.
Nobody wants additional launchers interfering with the UI of the Steam Deck, but fortunately there’s a way to get your Epic Games library without.
This is the best way to do it, now.
Here’s how to install it and how it works.
But it’s essentially as simple as downloading a file and installing it.
Junk-Store will integrate a native-like experience for Epic Games on the Steam Deck.
Tap on this, then tap on the little icon that looks like a shop.
Search forJunk-Storeand then simply tap onInstall.
If you still have a keyboard and mouse connected, you’re able to use this.
All of your Decky Loader plugins are available from the QAM menu on your Steam Deck for easy access.
Once authenticated, it’s possible for you to start installing your games.
The whole UI feels very similar to installing from your Steam library, though with some differences.
The point is that it feels native.
Once authenticated with your Epic Games account, this is how you’ll be able to see and interact with your library.
Using another launcher on the Steam Deck is far more jarring.
Installing games is as simple as tapping the install option.
There is one caveat, though.
This is so much better than opening another launcher to install Epic Games titles on the Steam Deck.
It’s no major disadvantage, though.
What you don’t get is any kind of information on how these games play on the Steam Deck.
For that, I’d still recommend going toProtonDBand checking out the community feedback.
One additional thing you might need to do is change the location of where the games install.
Ultimately, though, this is the best way to integrate your Epic Games library into your Steam Deck.
For that alone, it’s well worth getting.
