Steam Deck
Windows only; no macOS or Linux build (Firevolt said on Sept 1 they would like a Mac build but cannot promise one). Firevolt confirmed Steam Deck support in the Aug 21 Q&A and the June demo update, but Valve's own compatibility rating is still Unknown as of Sept 2, 2026. During the demo a Deck player found the Play Local option disabled and the game reading a SteamDeck=1 environment variable; adding SteamDeck=0 %command% to the launch options brought local play back at the cost of some menu frame rate. Partial controller support is listed on the store page: DualShock, DualSense and Xbox-style prompts all work; the Journal scroll needs the left stick rather than the right stick or D-pad. DLSS is available; turning it on forces V-Sync off by design.
