To install the Junk-Store plugin, you will need Decky Loader installed on your Steam Deck. Luckily, we already have a Decky Loader guide, to make that process as straightforward as possible. With Decky Loader installed, press the Quick Access button, represented by three dots on the right-hand side of your device.

From the newly opened drop-down menu, scroll down to the Decky Loader icon, which is represented by an image of a plug. Now, select the small shop icon, which will load up the Decky Loader plugin store.

While on the plug-in store, search “junk” in the text box and click install once the Junk-Store plug-in has appeared. Return to Decky Loader on your device, and select the newly listed Junk-Store plugin. In the Junk-Store plug-in menu, navigate to and select ‘About.’

If you haven’t got Proton Easy Anti Cheat or Proton BattlEye installed on your Steam Deck, you can install them here. If you already have them on your handheld, their install boxes will be grayed out.

Return to the Junk-Store plug-in menu and navigate to ‘Games’. From here, you can log in with your Epic Games Store details by clicking the small login box. If you’re having trouble typing in your log-in details, remember you can bring up the built-in Steam Deck keyboard but pressing the Steam button and X simultaneously.

Now, next time you access the Games section of Junk-Store, you can install your favorite Epic Games Store games. Any games in your Epic Games Store library, including titles like Fall Guys that aren’t currently available on the Steam platform, will appear.
