Depending on the game you’re playing, you may find yourself looking at a particularly gray box where the colorful and creative art should be on yourSteam Deck. While the majority of titles that come directly from theSteam Storewill have this, sideloaded games and apps will not. This is where this knowledge comes into play, especially if you’re not hoping to stare at a blank bit of kit for too long. While theSteam Deckdoes an excellent job of playing these games, it will not automatically add art for games that are not native to the platform, so let’s find out how to add our own art to these particular games.
How To Find And Add Art To Custom Games On Steam Deck
Let’s take a game likePokemon Infinite Fusion, for example. Normally, this is a game that you would have to play on your phone or PC, but with a few simple steps, you can have it up and running on yourSteam Deck. However, whenever you go to launch it, you just see a boring gray box. Let’s change that. There are only a few steps that you’ll need to do, and accessing this page on yourSteam Deckwill make it easier than ever.

Sometimes the artwork will not show up right away, but after playing the game for a bit, or another game for that matter, it should normally pop up. If, for some reason, it doesn’t, just repeat the steps to re-add the artwork you have already downloaded, and you should set everything to pop up and look great.
You can also do this for games that are in yourSteam Libraryif you’re looking to give them an extra boost of color or just want to see something besides the generic art that sometimes pops up with games that aren’tfully compatiblewith the Deck. Maybe you want yourElden Ringto look more like an oldLord of the Ringsbook? You can make that happen.
