Here’s a link to the game’s store page
And here’s a link to their X post with the animated Steam Deck art.
Is that DJ GabeN dropping beats on the Deck’s screen?
this is the weirdest political compass I’ve ever seen
What does your whole compass look like for you? Cause Nintendo needs to be auth-left. And I’m assuming lib left for steam, and Xbox takes lib right.
Why are half of the comments in this thread talking about how the steamdeck isn’t a computer? What the fuck are you all on about? Do you just need to be contrarian to be different? It’s a fucking full computer, like has all the parts and functions a computer has…
I see one comment like that, and they couched that opinion in so much praise for the steam deck that your reaction to it seems way over the top.
The steam deck arguably does a very good job at representing PC Gaming, hopefully more developers do this
Windows Sub-System for Linux - a utility that allows you to run Linux Commands / Programs (limited in scope) on a Windows Machine, for e.g.
As much as nice it sounds, this is not entirely true. Because Steam Deck is not just a PC and cannot share the same enjoyment and benefits of a regular PC, because its a handheld. I believe the Steam Deck should be handled as its own class of hardware, like a console is and do a PC showcase on its own.
For a small game that runs easily on the Deck and is mainly played with a gamepad, this is probably fine. But for lot of other games this cannot be said. I love my Steam Deck and my local PC, but they need to be treated separately for effective marketing.
Add a keyboard, mouse and monitor, which are already required for every other pc, and you can do everything on the steam deck that you can on any other pc. The steamdeck just has the additional functionality of working without those if you so choose.

Ok, how do I use rsync on the deck then? (/s, but I’d still love to know)
It plays PC games, runs a PC OS, has a PC DE (KDE Plasma), includes standard PC ports (with a dock that includes even more standard PC ports), has a standard PC uefi bios, uses a PC APU, and has a PC like trackpad along with a virtual keyboard. Also if a game works well with controllers itll work well with Steam Deck (even if it doesn’t it usually works well). Functionally speaking how is this different then a tablet PC with a controller? (In terms of if its a PC)
Its targeted by developers like a console is, its a specific hardware that developers can optimize for. And the operating system and user interface is optimized for gaming. That’s the Console portion of it. Steam Deck is a PC hardware in handheld form factor and a Console treatment, which developers can target specifically for, unlike other handheld PCs with Windows.
Steam Deck is not just a PC, and its not just a handheld. Its a console that can be targeted.
What are you talking about it’s just a laptop in gamepad form you can hook up PC peripherals and there will be zero difference.
I get what you’re saying - some games aren’t fun on steam deck controls, or just run like a dog.
But, look at it differently - It’s a PC by virtue of the fact you only have to buy it once to use it in both. My 10 year old XPS laptop and my gaming desktop are very different classes of hardware as well, but they’ll both run Plants vs Zombies that I bought once.
I can’t say that about the stuff I bought on Switch and want to keep playing on Steam Deck.
Hmm…
hmm…
