ZeniMax Online Studios officially announced on their ESO website that Elder Scrolls Online is currently compatible with the Steam Deck, although it’s not yet officially verified by Steam. At this stage, players may need to adjust settings manually to run the game on the Steam Deck.

“If you’re using Steam and own a Steam Deck, locate the game within your Library to initiate the download. Remember that even though the game is currently ‘Playable’, it won’t have a complete ‘Verified’ status until a future update. This means you may experience some unforeseen UI problems.” (Developer blog post)
