Steam Deck & Controller Optimization Update

Ready for the Handheld Arena

As we approach our June demo release, we’ve been working hard to ensure that the chaotic, high-octane action of [Game Name] feels native to the Steam Deck. We are excited to share the technical details of our compatibility optimizations.

Technical Specifications:

• Native Resolution: The game now runs at a native 1280x800 (16:10 aspect ratio), filling the Steam Deck screen perfectly without letterboxing.

• Steam Input API: We have fully integrated the Steam Input API. This means whether you are using the Deck’s built-in controls, a DualSense, or an Xbox controller, the game will automatically recognize your device and display the correct button glyphs.

• UI & Text Legibility: We’ve performed a full legibility pass. All menu text and in-battle HUD elements have been scaled to ensure they are crisp and readable on a 7-inch screen.

• Performance Target: Optimized to maintain a locked framerate during intense 4-player multiplayer sessions to ensure no dropped frames during crucial combos.

• On-Screen Keyboard: Full Steamworks integration ensures the Steam digital keyboard triggers automatically for any text entry fields.

Control Recommendations

While mouse and keyboard are supported, this game is built from the ground up for controllers. For the best experience—especially in 4-player local or online play—we highly recommend using the Steam Deck’s physical controls or a dedicated gamepad.

See you in the fray this June!
