We are happy to confirm that OddFauna is fully supported on the Steam Deck. The game runs smoothly out of the box, offering a great experience. We play the game a lot on the Steam Deck in our household. I love the Steam Deck and it is VERY cool to have our own game on it.

How Steam Deck Verification Works

For those curious about that little green checkmark, Valve has a rigorous review process to ensure a game feels "at home" on the Deck. To become Verified, a game must pass four main pillars of compatibility:

  • Input: The game must have full controller support, use the appropriate on-screen controller icons, and automatically bring up the virtual keyboard when you need to enter text.

  • Seamlessness: Players shouldn't see any compatibility warnings. If there’s a launcher, it must be fully navigable with a controller, so you aren’t reaching for the touchscreen.

  • Display: The game must support the Deck’s native resolution (1280x800 or 1280x720) and ensure that all UI and text are easily legible at a handheld distance.

  • System Support: Whether running natively or through Proton, the game and all its middleware (like anti-cheat or video codecs) must be fully compatible with SteamOS.

The Road to the Green Checkmark

Once the game is live, Valve’s testing team will put the world of OddFauna through its paces. Until that review is complete, the game may display a "Playable" or "Unknown" badge, but rest assured: the experience is already solid, and we will continue to refine it throughout Early Access.

We can’t wait to see you exploring the wilderness on your Steam Decks this June!

Wishlist OddFauna: Secret of the TerraBeast now to stay updated on our June 2nd launch!

Cheers,

Cliff
