Quick answer
Neverway lists SteamOS + Linux support, but an official Steam Deck Verified or Playable badge is not currently stated on the Steam listing reviewed for this guide.
Verified July 17, 2026. This guide separates confirmed facts from unannounced features.
What is confirmed
The Steam page includes a SteamOS + Linux system-requirements tab, and the game supports controller input. Those are encouraging signals for handheld PC play, but they are not a substitute for Valve’s Deck compatibility review.
What remains unknown
There is no confirmed Deck performance target, battery estimate, text-legibility result, default control profile, or Verified badge in the official information used here. Performance can also change between the Prologue and final release.
How to test responsibly
Use the free Prologue to check startup, prompts, text size, sleep/resume, and frame pacing on your own device. If it fails to launch, the official FAQ provides Vulkan and D3D11 options for PC, though Deck-specific fixes should be verified before applying desktop guidance.
