Since WWE 2K23 is on the Steam platform, one has to wonder if the coveted Steam Deck can run the wrestling simulation game. Last year’s WWE 2K title could work on it, but many users reported issues that made it quite difficult to do. Well, about this year? Can wrestling fans run WWE 2K23 on a laptop? Here’s what we’ve heard about player experiences on the Steam Deck and whether it can work on the device.

WWE 2K23 on a Steam platform
As of March 14, WWE 2K23 is unverified by Steam Deck. This despite the fact that the title developed by Visual Concepts is available in the digital market and that other 2K titles like NBA 2K22 and 2K23 are verified.
Nevertheless, the platform should still be able to run WWE 2K23, even if it is unverified. Now be aware that because this game is unverified, it may be prone to crashes and other false graphical stutters. A good example of this is the fighting game Undisputed, which offers a much better experience on a traditional desktop with at least minimal specs.
In general, Steam Deck Verified games have gone through the rigors to ensure that a good experience can be delivered on the device. So, be careful while playing WWE 2K23 on the device.
The good news though is that the Steam Deck specs should allow 2K23 to run at least well enough for players to have fun playing the fighting game on the go. Early reports from social media indicate that the game is running well and was relatively free of issues at first. However, we cannot guarantee that this will be the case for everyone.
