How to read the kit pages
Each kind of kit gets the same three groups. Plays means the game is officially released and supported there without a catch we know of. Plays, with a catch means it works, but something needs knowing first: a Valve rating of Playable on Steam Deck, an older edition, a separate launcher, or a streaming subscription. Not available means it has not been released for that kit, or it is blocked there.
The everyday laptop page is about laptops without a separate graphics card, which is most of the laptops people already own. If yours has a dedicated card, use the desktop PC page and Kit Check's graphics classes instead.
Ownership matters for the cloud page. Most streaming services let you play a copy you already own rather than including the game, so the cloud route usually means a subscription on top of the purchase.
