Many gamers expressed their excitement to play or replay Spider-Man: Miles Morales on their Steam Decks, as well as their PCs.

Valve's Steam Deck was released back in February of this year. It's a handheld console—often compared to the Nintendo Switch—that allows players to play games from their Steam library. However, Steam clarified that while many games would work on the console, they might not be optimized for it. Only Steam Deck Verified games would work perfectly on the console without any hitches. Apart from the two Spider-Man games, the Steam Deck Verified list includes popular titles, like Apex Legends, God of War 2018, Elden Ring, and Persona 5 Royal, among many others.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an immersive RPG that lets players explore various corners of New York City, and fight goons with smooth gameplay. Adding it to the Steam Deck would make it easier to play anywhere at any time. Plus, Sony and Insomniac Games promised new visual options, wide range of accessibility options, and more for the Miles Morales PC release, and hopefully, the Steam Deck release. Only time will tell if these improvements would be made.
