No System Requirements of Games in Store using Steam UI ...

[erebusparcae]

Apparently there is no System Requirements (File Size) showing on all games when browsing the Store on the Steam Deck or even on the Steam UI via windows? will they fix this?

This is what the Steam Deck Verified system is for.

Is there a specific example of this for a game? When you say "on the Steam UI via windows" do you mean the Steam client on a Windows PC?

The store pages are formatted differently when browsing on the Steam Deck using the Deck UI, however, I'm not seeing a missing System Requirements section in the Steam client on Windows.

OP specifically mentioned file size. I've wanted to look at the System Requirements for a few titles once or twice. Quicker to pull out the deck in Game Mode than switch to Desktop Mode.

File sizes can be found for games you own, but for games you intend to purchase they are not available.

Final Fantasy VII: Intergrade has a Verified mark, but is 70+ GB in size. Tekken 7 is 80 GB. Spiderman: Remastered is 60GB+.

The base model Steam Deck is a 64GB eMMC, and those games would not fit on the internal memory. Two of those on the 256GB model would limit game selection.

There are three Steam UIs.

Desktop UI - (Windows/Linux/MacOS)
Big Picture UI - (Steam Link)
Game Mode UI - (Steam Deck)

I'm well aware which is why I was asking the OP to clarify what they meant by "Steam UI via Windows".

Big Picture UI is not Steam Link. Big Picture is available on the desktop client, and is also currently the default UI for the Steam Link hardware and is the UI for the Steam Link app, and the UI for Remote Play.

"Game Mode" is not a UI, I think you are conflating "GameScope", which is the display manager / window renderer, with Deck UI. The Deck UI is expected to replace Big Picture entirely.

Lastly, there is the WebUI if you go to store.steampowered.com in a traditional web browser.

Is the OP talking about the Steam client Desktop UI on Windows? are they talking about Big Picture mode on Windows? or are they talking about the WebUI on Windows?

The Steam Deck has UI options to switch between Deck UI and KDE 5 Plasma. KDE is referred to as "Desktop Mode" and has a shortcut on the desktop to switch to "Gaming Mode".

"GameScope" and "Deck UI" are obscure and more technical names that do not facilitate communication quite as well.

I was trying to keep things simple.

Seemed overkill to me to include it.

I dunno, that is why I chimed in by explaining the need to clarify.

I can confirm that storage space is not listed on the Deck UI.

Big Picture Mode on a laptop — when you look at a game page in the store, there doesn't seem to be anywhere on the page that shows computer requirements.
