Elden Ring is finally out nowand it’s been verified to work fine on the Steam Deck – also released today.
Valve has confirmed that Elden Ringthe hugely popular new release from FromSoftware, which is “fully functional” on the company’s handheld gaming device.
“Valve testing indicates that Elden Ring has been verified on the Steam Deck,” the compatibility checker reads. This game is fully functional on the Steam Deck and works great with the built-in controls and screens. ”
What exactly does this mean? Well, games with “verified” status must meet four different criteria:
- Input: The game has full controller support, uses the appropriate controller input icons, and automatically displays the virtual keyboard when necessary.
- Screen: The game supports the default Steam Deck resolution (1280×800 or 1280×720), has good default settings, and the in-game text is easy to read.
- Seamless: The game doesn’t show any compatibility warnings and if it has a launcher, it can be navigated with a controller.
- System Support: If run through Proton (which allows Windows software to run on Linux systems), the game and its middleware will be supported. This includes anti-cheat support.
Essentially, this means that Elden Ring will be completely playable on the Steam Deck without any major system crashes (although The PC version in general is suffering from some performance complaintscan raise their heads).
Valve’s Steam Deck was officially released today, along with the Elden Ring, and more or less gives gamers the unique opportunity to play the deadly action RPG on the go, as the game hasn’t yet. Released on Nintendo Switch.
IGN’s own 10/10 Elden Ring rating called it “FromSoftware’s biggest and most ambitious game yet.”
“Even after 87 hours of blood, sweat and tears including some of the hardest battles I have ever fought and countless surprises, there are still bosses I left on the table, secrets that I haven’t discovered yet. ”
