Steam Deck owners now get a properly native experience. Controls, button labels, and UI defaults have all been tuned for handheld play. The early game has also been polished to give new players a smoother on-ramp, with a few quality-of-life improvements rounding things out. This patch ships on the demo build, ahead of the full game launch.
Steam Deck Native Support and Optimizations
D-Pad and thumbstick issues are now solved. No more configuration workaround needed.
UI Scale defaults to Large for better handheld readability.
Removed the full screen toggle, which served no purpose on handhelds.
Proper action button labels (A, B, X, Y) to match the Steam Deck.
If you previously worked around issues by changing settings, you can safely revert to default launch and controller settings now.
New Player Experience
Smoother flow from launching the game into your first match.
Softer opening levels so new players can find their footing.
Balanced early game food spawning.
User Interface
Improved menu help texts for better clarity around game modes.
New Features
Screenshots taken with the in-game screenshot button now save directly to your Steam screenshot library. Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Steam Deck.
Fixes
General bug fixes and stability improvements.
Minor story adjustments.
