Optimized for Steam Deck: Stellar Wanderer DX is Ready for Handheld Play!

Hello, explorers!

We are big fans of the Deck, and our team has been optimizing Stellar Wanderer DX to ensure that the transition from Desktop to Deck is seamless.

We are happy to report that the game currently runs great on the device. While we are waiting for an official review and badge, you can jump in with confidence.

We have self-audited the game against Valve’s official compatibility pillars:
Input: Full Xbox controller support. All icons automatically switch to Xbox prompts.
Seamlessness: No external launchers, no "tinker-required" pop-ups, and full Cloud Save support to swap between PC and Deck.
Display: Native 1280x800 and 1280x720 support.
Proton: Tested and confirmed on Proton 9.0

Feedback: If you have any questions or encounter any issue, please use our [Steam Deck Discussion Thread]

Share the Love: If the game runs well for you, consider submitting a report to ProtonDB to help fellow Deck users!

Best Regards,
The Stellar Wanderer Team
