About 4 years ago, I first introduced SteamDeckHQ, an official press outlet that focuses on Steam Deck performance testing and recommended settings, to this Subreddit. Since then, it has taken off and grown more than I could have ever expected. It's all thanks to our incredible community and readers for making it happen.

Today, we are pushing forward and have completely redesigned the website from the ground up. Everything has been retouched to make it look better, have cleaner navigation, and support some big new features like accounts, library/wishlist syncing with our reviews, badges, and more.

Here's an overview of everything that has changed:

• Complete redesign: homepage, header, navigation, footer, cards, typography, and mobile layouts.
• Homepage toggle between featured stories and a newest-first article strip, with the preference saved.
• Light and dark modes that follow the device setting or remember a manual choice.
• Rebuilt reviews with clearer scores, verdicts, compatibility badges, settings, battery information, galleries, and buy links.
• Review search, sorting, and filters for device, genre, compatibility, and ratings.
• Expanded Nintendo and hardware sections, plus Steam Machine and future Steam Frame areas.
• Steam account linking and a personal library matched to SDHQ reviews.
• Playtime, Steam Deck hours, and achievement progress on relevant reviews.
• Saved wishlist with supported public Steam wishlist importing.
• Personal game recommendations based on library and playing habits.
• Live deal prices, discounts on game cards, wishlist deals, and personalised suggestions.
• Improved community voting and results.
• Badges covering participation, library activity, devices, and Steam milestones.
• Rebuilt account pages, profile editing, Steam/Patreon linking, sign-in, and password recovery.
• Dedicated Patreon membership page and paid-member ad-free handling.
• Rebuilt About, team, author, Work With Us, search, and error pages.

We have a lot of plans for the future, so stay tuned as we expand the site with more features and better ways to find out which games run well on the Steam Deck.

Hey everyone! So, we are hosting our first community competition until July 1st 12pm PT, perfect for the Steam Summer Sale, where you can win a $30 Steam game of your choice.

The competition is for HITMAN's new The Wizard contract, and whoever gets the highest mission score wins. All you have to do is play the contract, take a screenshot of your end screen, and upload it here or on our Discord server in a dedicated channel.

And don't worry if you don't have a high score! Everyone who participates will be entered into a runner-up raffle, and a randomly chosen person will get a $15 Steam game of their choice.

You can also read up more details on the competition in our dedicated article!

Good luck!!
