🍿 Cat Quest 2 on Steam Deck through Epic Games

Snacks (🍿) are my collection of recipes for solving problems. Often recorded (and cleaned up) from actual discussions where I'm involved in helping others with technical problems. Not all solutions are mine but I started collecting them in one place because you never know when you need one.


Cat Quest 2 from Epic Games doesn't work by default in Steam Deck's gaming mode through Heroic Launcher.

The solution is to

  1. go to Desktop Mode
  2. start Heroic Launcher there
  3. start Cat Quest 2
  4. link your Epic Games account with Cat Quest 2 in the opening browser

After this, you can start the game directly in the Steam Deck Gaming Mode.

Happy gaming!
