Valve's handheld gaming PC, the Steam Deck, has been making headlines for the last few months. With its portability and design, it quickly gained traction with gamers, with some even billing it as a potential rival to the Nintendo Switch. Like many other popular consoles, it was a massive hit, with the Steam Deck selling out in a matter of weeks. This is due to the ability for it to access a user's entire Steam library, making it that many games can be played on the go.

This raised some concern regarding what can be played on the console and if Valve's new machine can access and run available on the Steam storefront, so much so that Valve is hiring people to check the Steam Deck's game compatibility features. This is no small task, as there are over 50,000 games that exist on Steam, with new ones being added every day. However, Valve is not only looking to give access to a user's database of available games, as it is also looking to add the Steam Storefront as well.

This discovery was courtesy of Pavel Djundik, or @thexpaw on Twitter, a data miner and the creator of the ever-popular SteamDB website. His work revealed some screenshots of how the Steam storefront and its UI would be adjusted to fit on the Steam Deck, with the name also being referred to as "tablet mode" as well. Presumably, this means that this mode is for a tablet user interface, or the Steam Deck could be rotated sideways to match how the UI looks in the screenshots.

The UI itself is streamlined, where the game's summary and important information are placed on the left, with purchase options or playable options on the right in a convenient bar. In the store section of the page, the games are listed on the left where players can open a separate bar on the right to filter out the options they wanted. Finally, players can check their Steam account through an option at the top of the bar, which can show off other important information in a convenient manner.

As the Steam Deck's release approaches at the end of this year, fans have plenty to be excited about it, and the Steam Store being accessible from the console is one of them. If a potential buyer wants to try and see how this UI would look proper, it is accessible by setting their user-agent to "Valve Steam Gamepad" and the browser window size to be small as well.

The Steam Deck will launch in December 2021.
