A community-made Bazzite-deck port can run Steam gaming mode on some jailbroken PlayStation 5 consoles, with an optional desktop mode and GPU modification. Compatibility is limited, and enabling the extra GPU compute units may cause instability.

The Bazzite-deck port boots into Steam gaming mode and also offers a KDE desktop; it requires a jailbroken PS5.
The TechPowerUp report says the installer works only on jailbroken consoles with firmware versions 3.00–13.60, and notes other compatibility limits.
Both reports describe an option to enable four additional GPU compute units and warn that doing so may cause problems or instability.
