Anyone knows what does "native" means here precisely? Steam Deck has a x86-64 instruction set AFAIK, so it's just same as a the Windows version? Or has it to do with the GPU / OS? Or does it just mean "properly configured"?

It means compiled for Linux/SteamOS instead of being compiled for Windows and using a compatibility layer to play.

Native as in it's a Linux binary, no wine/proton involved
