If the majority of a users playtime at the time of review was from playing on Deck, the review will have a Deck icon next to it.

The game in the screenshot is SAND LAND. You can view the reviews here to easily see some examples of this new icon.

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way to filter reviews to show Deck reviews only.

    I mean… they haaaaave all of your specs. They just keep them private unless you consent to the survey.

    Everything you run has your specs.

      The application yes, but the programmer? That requires network, api and a sent packet or more.

      Just because you run a binary doesn’t mean a server across the Internet knows you.

      Users though, disregard my advice. Assume what you run is running foreign remote code that could encrypt and ransom you.

        Oh I super agree with you! The question was “does Steam know what your hardware is without consenting to a survey” and the answer is “yes absolutely Steam does!”

        Also your last paragraph? I know software and I think you’re too lenient hahahaha

        I don’t even use phone apps unless they have almost zero permissions.

      Not all of them. Full scan of hardware is performed only when participating in a survey or requesting a hardware report. An example is Steam on my PC not detecting a SteamVR native headset (goggles icon doesn’t appear) until I’ll launch VR mode.
