Why DeckyVault?

Gaming on the Steam Deck is incredible, but finding reliable, detailed answers about whether a game will run well — or how to optimize it — can be frustrating. Existing resources are often fragmented, outdated, or lack the depth the community needs.

DeckyVault aims to solve this by being the definitive, community-first hub for Steam Deck performance data.

Features

Community-First Contributions — Built by the community, for the community. Anyone can contribute data and improvements.
Streamlined Filters & Searching — Quickly find the games you're looking for with powerful search and filtering.
Rich Performance Metrics
- Community average FPS (low, avg, high).
- Extended FPS metrics for technologies like FSR and Frame Generation.
Beautifully Formatted Settings — No more endless single-column lists. Every game features sectioned setting tables that mirror in-game menus.
Historical FPS Graphs — Track performance improvements over time across:
- Game Versions
- Proton / Native builds
- SteamOS Versions
Multi-Device Support — Dedicated metrics and optimized settings for Steam Deck OLED, Steam Deck LCD, and Steam Machine, all on a single page with quick toggles.
Comprehensive Compatibility Tracking
- Proton vs. Native status
- Online Play & Anti-Cheat status
- Straightforward "Playable" tags
Loading & Storage Metrics — Track initial launch times, game load times, world loading, and SD Card performance.
Community & Steam Integration — On-site comments plus existing reviews, artwork, and stats pulled directly from Steam.
Open Source — Fully transparent. Help us build the best resource for Deck gamers.
