Apex Legends
Fortnite doesn’t appear to be coming to the Steam Deck, but you can play Apex Legends, another immensely popular free-to-play battle royale. In Apex, you choose a hero and are then placed in a three-player squad. The goal of each match is simple: survive. You arrive on the battlefield with nothing and have to scavenge for weapons and equipment. And if you die just once, the game is over unless your teammates can resurrect you.
Apex Legends has some of the best compact mechanics of any battle royale, and the heroes add another layer of complexity not found in most of its competitors. Apex Legends is also responsible for debuting features that were shamelessly cloned in other battle royale games, like a ping system, reboot fans, and hot drops.
