DoomDeckLauncher: community DOOM maps on Steam Deck

doomdecklauncher.com Visit website

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, open-source Steam Deck launcher for browsing, installing, and playing community DOOM mapsets.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-23 issue.

For: Steam Deck owners with legally owned DOOM games
Worth noticing: It says it never bundles commercial base games; users supply their own IWAD files, and DSDA-Doom is downloaded separately.

Field notes

The setup guide walks through installing the .flatpakref with Discover, adding the app as a non-Steam game, and configuring it for Gaming Mode. Users provide their own IWAD folder, while the page says the DSDA-Doom engine comes separately from its upstream release. The project identifies the Flatpak channel as pre-alpha and self-hosted, and notes that its launcher preview uses sample data.
