  • Launching a game from the “Recently Installed” section of the home screen and returning home will not display the other carousels.

  • The Recently Released carousel in the Explore column may contain games that are not recently released.
  • Carousels in the Explore section are currently only refreshed on device restart.
  • Games that have not been released and DLCs of Free to Play games are appearing in the “Free to Play” carousel.
  • Games that have not been released are appearing in Search when “Free” is selected as a price filter.
  • Purchasing games from the Wishlist does not remove them.

Games

  • Touchscreen is not supported in all games.
  • Some games do not display artwork in their app card.
  • A few games you own may not appear in your library. Please report them so that we can fix them.
  • Games may fail to launch when using Intel graphics.

Provider-Specific

  • Attempting to link your Epic Games Store (EGS) account when launching an EGS title for the first time requires a touchscreen or mouse to complete the linking process.
  • Attempting to unlink a provider fails if the user is running a game associated with that provider.

Hardware

  • ASUS ROG Ally
    • ASUS ROG Ally has two internal controllers showing up in the input screen 
  • NVIDIA
    • In general, more games will have issues on NVIDIA platforms than with Alpha 3.X due to issues related to the latest NVIDIA drivers.
    • On NVIDIA, using a mouse in-game causes severe lag. We recommend using a controller instead.
  • Valve Steam Deck LCD
    • The Valve Steam Deck LCD's default controls are represented as keyboard glyphs in the footer.
  • Other
    • Connecting an external display may temporarily distort the position of app cards on the Home screen.
