So while Valve has announced you can theoretically install Windows on the Steam Deck they don’t recommend it and I am highly doubtful they will offer first party driver support for Windows for a device they are using to promote their SteamOS ecosystem. I know people can use Wine, but I’m not sure about it’s state these days and even if it could run WoW, it would probably be at half the frame rate of an equal device running native Windows.Īdditionally the Steam Deck has been confirmed to have a custom CPU+GPU(and possibly other custom hardware) that will require custom drivers that will likely not exist for Windows. WoW is a DX12 engine game (Even the DX11 option basically uses the same DX12 channels. It’s going to be using their SteamOS aka Linux, so probably not all that well. ![]()
