## Steam

Steam can be installed either via a native package, which requires [enabling the
"nonfree" repository](../xbps/repositories/index.md#nonfree), or via
[Flatpak](#flatpak). The list of dependencies for different platforms and
troubleshooting information for the native package can be found in its
[Void-specific documentation](./package-documentation/index.html), while this
section deals with potential issues faced by Flatpak users.

`--filesystem` option from
[flatpak-override(1)](https://man.voidlinux.org/flatpak-override.1) can prove
useful.
