"GTA Online" Drops Support for Steam Deck

Valve's Handheld Device No Longer Compatible with Popular Rockstar Title

In a surprising move, Rockstar Games has announced that "GTA Online" will no longer be supported on the Steam Deck. The popular open-world title, which has been a staple of the Steam platform for years, will no longer be playable on Valve's handheld device, effective immediately.

Reasons for the Decision Remain Unclear

Rockstar Games has not provided any official explanation for the decision to drop support for the Steam Deck. However, speculation has centered on the device's technical limitations. The Steam Deck's relatively low-powered hardware may not be able to handle the demands of "GTA Online," which is known for its demanding graphics and large-scale gameplay.

Disappointment for Steam Deck Owners

The decision has been met with disappointment from Steam Deck owners, many of whom had been looking forward to playing "GTA Online" on the go. The title is one of the most popular games on Steam, with over 150 million copies sold worldwide.

Alternatives for Steam Deck Users

Steam Deck owners who are looking to play "GTA Online" will need to find alternative ways to do so. One option is to use a remote desktop application to stream the game from a more powerful computer. Another option is to use a cloud gaming service, such as GeForce Now or Stadia.

Conclusion

The decision by Rockstar Games to drop support for "GTA Online" on the Steam Deck is a disappointing one for many gamers. However, there are still ways for Steam Deck owners to play the popular title. With a little creativity and effort, they can still enjoy "GTA Online" on the go.
