New Steam Deck plugin means you can customise your Steam Achievement pop-ups to match Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, or anything your heart desires
A new Decky plugin called Achievement Customizer has arrived for Steam Deck users seeking to personalize their gaming experience. The plugin allows players to fully customize achievement pop-up notifications that appear on their Steam Deck, moving beyond the standard Steam design.
The Achievement Customizer’s primary appeal lies in its flexibility. Rather than being limited to Steam’s default achievement notification style, users can replicate the achievement pop-up designs from other gaming platforms—including PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox—or create entirely custom designs based on their preferences. This enables gamers with multi-platform collections to unify their achievement notification experience across devices, creating a cohesive aesthetic regardless of which platform they’re playing on.
As a Decky plugin, the Achievement Customizer integrates into the SteamOS ecosystem on Steam Deck and should work on compatible systems running the Decky framework. The plugin provides comprehensive customization options, giving users granular control over achievement notifications, including styling, positioning, and visual effects.
The release addresses a niche but dedicated segment of gamers—achievement enthusiasts who derive satisfaction from completing in-game objectives and collecting badges across their gaming libraries. By allowing achievement pop-ups to match a player’s preferred platform aesthetic, the plugin enhances the personal customization capabilities of the Steam Deck, reinforcing its reputation as a highly moddable handheld device.
This development showcases the vibrant modding community around Steam Deck and SteamOS, where Decky plugins continue to expand the device’s functionality beyond what official software provides. Achievement Customizer represents another example of the community filling feature gaps and enabling users to tailor their gaming environment.
