steamworks.isSteamDeck()

Overview

This property will be true if the current system is running Steam Deck hardware.

If this function returns false, you should assume the user is not on a Steam Deck. You can still run Steam-specific APIs, but any Steam Deck-specific optimizations or input handling should be skipped. This property is read-only and determined at application startup; it cannot change during the application’s lifetime.

Example

local steamworks = require( "plugin.steamworks" )

if steamworks.isSteamDeck() then
    print("Running on Steam Deck! Adjusting UI and input settings for deck...")
    -- Example: Enable on-screen keyboard or adjust layout
else
    print("Not a Steam Deck. Running normal desktop mode.")
end
