Information for those who are interested in running the game on the Steam Deck, Steam will do their own evaluation in due course but we want to provide our own notes so players can make a decision.
The game is fully playable on the Steam Deck with complete controller support for all menus, gameplay, and text entry. However the performance in key areas of the game is not all that good, at around 35fps.
Therefore for players who were thinking of playing mostly on the Steam Deck we would not advise getting the game until we have had time to do some optimization after launch. For players who want to play mostly on PC and occasionally continue their cloud save game on the Deck it might be ok.
If you do wish to play on the Steam Deck we recommend going into the game settings and choosing the Lowest quality, you can also improve the framerate a little by setting resolution to 640x400 and using the FSR scaling option in the Steam Deck performance settings.
