SteamDeckHQ has introduced another major website update, adding dedicated Steam Machine game reviews, improved recommendation layouts, and several changes designed to make gaming information easier to access.
Released on October 26, 2026, the update follows a complete website redesign introduced earlier this month.
The latest changes expand the platform's hardware coverage beyond Steam Deck while improving how readers find performance settings, compatibility information, and related articles.
The website has also introduced automated rating updates and additional store options.
Steam Machine Reviews Now Have Dedicated Pages
The biggest addition is a separate review system for Steam Machine games.
Previously, the website primarily focused on Steam Deck performance and game compatibility. The new system allows individual games to receive dedicated Steam Machine reviews.
These reviews focus specifically on how games perform on the hardware, including recommended graphics settings and performance observations.
Traditional game reviews and their overall scores will remain associated with the Steam Deck review pages.
Games tested on multiple devices will now display corresponding hardware icons, making it easier to identify which platforms have been evaluated.
Readers can also switch between available device reviews from within individual game pages.
Game Review Pages Receive Improved Settings Layout
The update introduces several changes to how recommended settings appear.
Performance recommendations are now organized on the right side of review pages, with the primary configuration expanded by default.
Other configurations remain collapsed until selected.
Additional headings distinguish between settings designed for 60 FPS gameplay, improved visual quality, and other performance targets.
The website has also introduced automated checks for ProtonDB compatibility reports and Steam Deck Verified ratings.
These changes should help keep compatibility information current without requiring manual updates.
GreenManGaming store listings have also been added to game review pages.
Website Design and Article Recommendations Improved
The update introduces an Up Next section that recommends additional articles based on the content being viewed.
Game articles can also display related reviews and other relevant information.
Several visual adjustments improve button visibility, image loading, hover effects, and compatibility with older browsers.
The development team has also simplified internal website systems to support future hardware categories.
These improvements could eventually allow dedicated coverage for devices such as Steam Frame and other gaming handhelds.
For now, the update establishes a separate review structure for Steam Machine while making performance recommendations and compatibility information easier to navigate.
