Steam Deck Status and Controller Support

DIRECT ANSWER

Steam lists the game for Windows and marks full controller support. On August 5, the developer said Valve’s Steam Deck verification was still pending. Players reported successful Deck use, but those reports do not equal an official Verified badge, and this site did not capture a current Valve result.

STATUS: PENDING

Do not collapse three different claims

A Windows listing, controller support, and Valve Deck verification are separate facts.

Valve testing was pending on Aug 5

Positive Deck use reports exist

E1 source: Developer response: Steam Deck testing status

Why this page exists: A Steam Deck owner needs the difference between controller support, community reports, and Valve verification.

What the official listing confirms

The appdetails record exposes Windows as the supported platform and full controller support as a feature. Neither field by itself establishes Deck compatibility or a performance target.

What the dated developer reply says

The developer said Valve was still testing the game for Deck verification on August 5. That statement can become stale, so check the live Steam compatibility panel before purchase.

How to read the community reports

Players described successful play and custom layouts in Steam discussions. Those observations are useful but hardware-, Proton-, and version-sensitive. They are labeled E2 here and are not presented as our test result.

SOURCE LEDGER / PLATFORM STATUS

Follow every claim to its evidence.

E1 is first-party. E2 is a community observation or route. Later official updates can supersede version-sensitive details.

Publication limit: No current Valve Verified or Playable badge was captured, and this site makes no frame-rate, battery, or layout promise.
