A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

If you set your Steam Deck to desktop mode, the process is the same as on Windows.

Click on "Games" in the top menu bar, then click "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library."

Heroic also has a handy "Add to Steam" shortcut for each game:

If you "add to Steam" from Heroic, will the game still receive any updates/patches, or would you have to re-add it to Steam?

You don't have to re-add the game but I think you have to start Heroic itself from time to time to check for updates.
