The official Verified status
The Steam store’s compatibility section is the primary public reference for this answer. Its Verified badge agrees with the category returned by Valve’s live report. That makes the current official record more useful than a third-party page that still labels compatibility unknown.
The word “current” here refers to the dated research snapshot. Compatibility information can be updated independently of a guide article, so the source link remains important even when the badge is clearly recorded. This page reports the documented result rather than claiming to have run a separate hardware benchmark.
What the compatibility report checks
Valve’s report records functional default controller configuration and controller glyphs matching the Deck device. It also records legible interface text and a performant default configuration. These are the specific report findings behind the status reproduced on this page.
Those checks are more informative than simply repeating the badge because they describe the categories Valve evaluated. They do not supply a table of frame times, a comparison of graphical presets or a measured battery run. A reader looking for those numbers should not mistake the report labels for a benchmark.
Keep the external-controller caveat visible
The same official report includes a limitation involving external controllers for the primary player. That qualification is part of the source and belongs in the answer even though the game carries the Verified badge. It is particularly relevant when the question concerns a setup beyond the handheld’s own controls.
The collected material does not provide an exact tested workaround for that limitation. It also does not establish that the desktop controller-support declaration cancels it. The safest factual reading is to preserve both statements at their intended scope rather than silently dropping the less convenient one.
Verified does not mean a native Linux edition
The Steam app data collected for this game lists Windows support rather than a native Linux release. The Deck compatibility result is a separate declaration about running the game in Valve’s handheld environment. The two fields should therefore not be treated as competing answers to the same question.
A Verified badge can answer the handheld-compatibility question without changing the platform flags recorded for the product. This article does not infer a new native build, a particular compatibility-layer version or additional operating-system support from the badge. The Steam article contains the broader platform information.
Why older database summaries can disagree
The research found third-party summaries that still described Deck support as unknown or unconfirmed. Those summaries conflict with the inspected Steam interface and live Valve report. For the status at the time of collection, the official report takes precedence.
This disagreement is a reason to follow a dated primary source rather than count how many summaries repeat each label. Several databases may all be mirroring the same earlier information. Their repetition does not independently invalidate a newer compatibility result supplied by Valve.
What this page can and cannot promise
You can use this article to identify the recorded badge, the checks listed with it and the external-controller caveat. There is no firsthand FPS test, battery measurement or verified performance preset in the collected material. Those missing measurements are not replaced with generic advice borrowed from another game.
For input device families on a Windows PC, read the controller-support page. For the movement actions described in published gameplay coverage, use the controls article. Keeping those questions distinct gives you the Verified answer you searched for while preserving the practical qualifications in the original report.
