I’m keen to play a football game, e.g. FIFA.

FIFA 23 uses EA Play and thus doesn’t work on Steam Deck (?). Older copies of FIFA are not sold anymore.

Does anyone play football games on Steam Deck that they could recommend?

    The Steam Deck is supposedly an emulation powerhouse from what I’ve heard. Could be a good option if you don’t mind playing older FIFA titles from the PS1 era or similar.

      Emulation of PS2 has been flawless. The setup is easy and you can get good looking graphics (I’m playing ratchet and clank series right now. 1080p makes the models look really nice. )

      PS3 has been near impossible for me to get running on my SteamDeck. Others have said they got it working with titles being hit or miss.

      Or the ps3 era, if the deck is able to run skate 3 with rpcs3, then surely any of the ps3 fifa games will run alright.

        Ps3 emulation is very hit or miss. I’ve yet to find a game that runs well. Maybe after a few more RPCS3 updates.

      Soccer is called soccer in the United States. The rest of the world calls it football. I don’t understand why American football is called football when the only time a player’s foot touches the ball is during a punt or field goal.
