The Steam Deck’s multitouch screen might be its most underutilised feature. Until recently, I wasn’t even sure whether devs could use it for anything more than simple mouse emulation. But I’ve just started playing “Sky: Children of the Light” on my Deck (which is generally a great experience on Deck, especially on the OLED with 90Hz HDR) and I found that when using a musical instrument, you can actually use the touchscreen to play up to 10 notes at the same time.

This got me curious: Do you know if there are any other games on Deck using multitouch, or is Sky the first one that does it?

    Haven’t tried it on the Deck to see if it still works/works with its implementation, but I remember reading the Linux version of World of Goo works with but doesn’t officially support (presumably meaning if it breaks anything they won’t help you fix it?) multiple mice if you change a variable in the config file
