When it comes to enjoying a game on Steam Deck, my opinion doesn't matter. Neither does Valve's 'Deck Verified' program.
Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds is currently the 5th most played game on Steam Deck this week. And that’s a curious fact, because I declared Monster Hunter Wilds completely, which is ranked 21 out of 100 on the handheld’s Top Played chart during the past year.
I consider that vastly more playable than Monster Hunter Wilds, yet it’s considered “Unsupported" by Valve. Here’s the thing, though: in the end, none of that matters.

And who can forget crafting custom spells that would turn The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind into a slideshow on Xbox?Maybe that’s what is happening with Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam Deck. People aren’t paying attention to performance verdicts or compatibility labels. They’re playing the game, rough edges or not, because they love it and the affordable Steam Deck might just be their only way of experiencing it. Of course, as PC gamers always do, they’ll fix what AAA publishers won’t.
