I’m keen to play a football game, e.g. FIFA.

FIFA 23 uses EA Play and thus doesn’t work on Steam Deck (?). Older copies of FIFA are not sold anymore.

Does anyone play football games on Steam Deck that they could recommend?

    There is always cracked versions, check out fitgirl for older FIFA versions, -19.

    The newer games use denovo which is unlikely to work on Linux but with it removed it should run fine.

    eSoccer 2023, formerly known as Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) has worked on the Steam Deck in the past. I have read about issues with updates.

    If EA Play is the only barrier to playing these games, you can definitely get them installed and try them out with Proton.

      Soccer is called soccer in the United States. The rest of the world calls it football. I don’t understand why American football is called football when the only time a player’s foot touches the ball is during a punt or field goal.
