About this tag
Decky Links is a Steam Deck community project that turns physical items like floppy disks, NFC tags, USB drives, SD cards, optical discs, or QR codes into launch keys for games already installed on the handheld. The floppy disk acts as a physical token containing a small launch instruction, while the game itself remains on the Deck's internal SSD or microSD card.
