Steam Deck-optimized version of Startup Company

Dear Startup Company players,

We have some exciting news to share with you. We are introducing a new version of the game that has been optimized for use with controllers. This means that the game will be fully compatible with the Steam Deck and other controller-based devices.

We recommend that players on desktop computers continue to play the regular version of the game as it provides the best experience in terms of gameplay, modding, and overall performance. However, if you prefer to play using a controller, the new controller-optimized version of the game will provide an equally immersive and enjoyable experience.

Please note that the controller-optimized version of Startup Company will not support modding, and savegames between the two versions are not compatible/shared.

To choose between the two versions, simply start the game as usual and you'll be prompted to select the desired game version:

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for Startup Company. We hope you enjoy the new controller-optimized version of the game!

Sincerely,
Hovgaard Games
