Do you have a source on how to do this? I keep seeing that you have to use Heroic Launcher or Lutis. I just want to buy games on GOG and then play them on my steam deck, but haven’t had time to figure out the best way to go about it
Also, do GOG games only save to internal memory and not the SD card? I read that it one article, but don’t know if that’s still true.
I’m still figuring out everything I can do with my steam deck, I just don’t have as much time as I used to, to REALLY tinker around with it
I’m not a tech guru, but pretty familiar with linux and ok with using CLI (though I’ve never needed it on steam deck, just a point of reference for my comfortability)
Point it at the executable you want to add (you can select multiple programs from the big list if it automatically shows up, or manually look for it from the button at the bottom)
Boom. It’s on Steam now. You can then go to SteamGridDB and get art assets to make it look nicer than a plain gray rectangle with the default font (right click the various elements and select “manage>custom artwork.”)
Addendum: if you want to do this for VR games, you also will want to go into the options (right click, properties) and toggle “show in VR library.”

From Steam’s main interface:
Games>Add a non-steam game to my library

If you set your Steam Deck to desktop mode, the process is the same as on Windows.
Click on “Games” in the top menu bar, then click “Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library.”
Heroic also has a handy “Add to Steam” shortcut for each game:
