Getting Started: Preparing Your Steam Deck

Alright, guys, before we jump into installing Infinity Nikki, let's make sure your Steam Deck is ready to go. Think of this as your pre-flight checklist. The success of enjoying Infinity Nikki relies on setting up your Steam Deck correctly. Don't worry, it's not as complex as it sounds!

First, make sure your Steam Deck is updated. Valve regularly releases updates that improve performance, add new features, and enhance compatibility with games. To update your Steam Deck, go to Settings > System > Software Updates. Download and install any available updates. This is crucial for optimal performance.

Second, ensure you have enough storage space. Infinity Nikki is expected to be a substantial game, so make sure you have enough free space on your Steam Deck's internal storage or your microSD card. You can check your storage usage in Settings > System > Storage. If you're running low on space, consider deleting any games or apps you no longer use or investing in a larger microSD card. A microSD card can greatly expand your storage capacity. It's a cheap and easy way to make sure you have room for all your games.

Third, consider adjusting your Steam Deck settings for the best experience. Go to Settings > Display and adjust the screen brightness and color temperature to your liking. Also, go to Settings > Controller and customize your controller layout if you prefer. This will help you get comfortable with the controls before you even launch Infinity Nikki. Make sure you customize your settings to suit your personal preferences.
