How To Install [new] Cracked Games On Steam Deck Online

Installing non-Steam or "cracked" games on a Steam Deck is a popular way to expand your library beyond the official storefront. Because the Steam Deck runs on SteamOS (a Linux-based system), running Windows executables requires a compatibility layer like Proton or Wine.

Step 3: Acquire the Game

Step 2: Prepare the Game Files

Method 1: Using Proton

  1. Download the cracked game: Obtain the cracked game files from a reputable source. Be cautious of malware and viruses.
  2. Create a new Steam library folder: Go to Steam > Settings > In-game > Library Folders and create a new folder for your cracked games.
  3. Add the cracked game to Steam: Go to Steam > Add a Game > Add a Non-Steam Game and select the game's executable file.
  4. Configure Proton: Right-click the game in your Steam library, select Properties, and go to Compatibility. Select Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool and choose Proton Experimental.
  5. Launch the game: Launch the game through Steam, and Proton will handle the compatibility.
