If you're hoping to play the latest MiHoYo game on-the-go without using a small smartphone screen, you may be looking to find out how to install Zenless Zone Zero on Steam Deck. As the game prepares to launch soon, pre-loading it on your handheld is a great idea, especially as it takes up over 100GB of storage.

However, with Zenless Zone Zero not being available on the Steam storefront, you may need to find a workaround to install ZZZ on Steam Deck and start collecting your Zenless Zone Zero free characters.

Unfortunately, it's unclear whether you can play Zenless Zone Zero on Steam Deck just yet. According to a Reddit post, you can launch the game but you'll receive the Zenless Zone Zero city maintenance error, something that EVERY platform is currently facing before the servers launch.
Both Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, MiHoYo's biggest games, are playable on the Steam Deck with various workarounds. Hopefully, Zenless Zone Zero is available when the ZZZ release date finally arrives.
