Someone Created a Steam Deck Guide for all Sonic Games - Steam Deck HQ (2)

When I review games and work on them, I feel like I am very dedicated and thorough...yet even I have have to tip my hat to this mad man. Twitter user @sonicforces has taken the time to write a dedicated guide to all Sonic games to optimally play and mod them to run as optimally as possible on the Steam Deck. This 43 page bible covers each Sonic game and discusses how they optimally play the game, as well as the process to mod. And yes, this includes games that need emulation and goes over some of the different emulators you can use for it.

@sonicforces has been working on the guide since October of last year, but yesterday, they officially finished adding the final game, Sonic Unleashed, to the guide to bring in every major Sonic release:

The deed is done.

Instructions to run Sonic Unleashed via Xenia (no Windows required!!) are all written out. With this, EVERY SINGLE MAJOR SONIC GAME is, at the very least, playable on the Steam Deck!!!

I still gotta figure out mod support, but so far it's been very playable!!! https://t.co/ZEEMb3q1gb

While I consider myself someone who enjoys Sonic the Hedgehog games, I am thoroughly impressed by this person's dedication. Kudos to you @sonicforces, this is pretty damn fantastic. This has forced me to come face-to-face with the fact that I need to play Sonic and the Secret Rings on my Steam Deck.

Can you play Sonic Robo Blast 2 on Steam Deck? ›

Another game would be Sonic Robo Blast 2. I am very into Sonic Games, including fan games and mods, so naturally a lot of my “tinkering” on Deck involved Sonic in some way. With SRB2 it was relatively simple though. You just install a Flatpak version of it and then go to /home/deck/.

Are all games compatible with Steam Deck? ›

While many games run great on Deck out of the box, this shift means there are some games that, while they may be great on a desktop PC, aren't a great experience on Steam Deck. We want it to be easy for you to find great gaming experiences on Steam Deck, so we've designed a system to do just that.

Does Sonic Superstars work on Steam Deck? ›

Sonic Superstars performs quite well on the Steam Deck, way better than I initially expected. The Deck can struggle in games where you have to run through levels or worlds fast.
