The Unifideck plugin for Steam Deck has been updated to include additional game metadata and online support for GOG Galaxy. This enhancement allows users to access details like synopses and scores directly in Steam's Game Mode. The changes also enable online play for certain GOG titles, such as Gwent.
Unifideck, a Decky Loader plugin designed to integrate non-Steam libraries into the Steam Deck's Game Mode, has seen recent improvements that enhance its functionality for PC gamers. Originally developed to sync Epic, GOG, and Amazon Prime game collections, the plugin now displays extra metadata for installed titles. This includes the game's synopsis, tags, developer information, and Metacritic scores, presented seamlessly at the top of the game details page without disrupting the interface.
A key addition is the restoration of GOG Galaxy online support, which was previously fixed in this update. This feature ensures that GOG games requiring online connectivity, like the card game Gwent, can be played with full interactivity. Developers have also addressed issues with artwork downloads to ensure accuracy, and icons are now fetched alongside cover art. Other refinements include relocating install buttons to the metadata section and various UI tweaks for better usability.
These updates build on Unifideck's ongoing development since its initial release, making it easier for Steam Deck users to access a broader range of PC games outside the Steam ecosystem. To install the latest version, users must download it from the project's GitHub releases and manually place it in the plugin folder while in desktop mode. The changes, announced on February 4, 2026, reflect the plugin's evolution in supporting diverse gaming platforms on handheld devices.
