Desynced: Playable on Steam Deck!

Desynced has successfully passed the Steam Deck compatibility tests and achieved the "Playable" status.

While this is excellent news, it means there are a couple of things to keep in mind to get the smoothest experience on Steam Deck.

[h2]Here is a quick rundown of the considerations:[/h2]

[h2]Things to Note:[/h2]
  • Controller Configuration: You might need to use the touchscreen or virtual keyboard for some functions. Community configurations might come in handy.
  • Icon Displays: Sometimes, the game will display mouse, keyboard, or non-Steam-Deck controller icons.
  • On-screen Keyboard: Manually invoking the keyboard is required to enter some texts (STEAM + X)
  • Cursor Activation: Press R3 to activate the cursor.
  • Text Size: Some in-game text is small and may be difficult to read.
    For better readability, you can scale the UI and text up to 120% in the game settings (Options -> Game -> Interface Scale). Use Steam+L1 for further zoom
  • Graphics Settings: To perform the game at its best, manually configure the graphics settings.


[h2]What’s Performing Well:[/h2]
  • Single-player: Enjoy both online and offline single-player seamlessly.
  • Multiplayer: Online multiplayer runs without a hitch.
  • External Controller: Primary player external controllers are supported fully.
  • Resolution and Audio: Experience the native resolution and stellar audio that work like a charm.
  • Frame Limiter and Display Settings: These are supported and stored per device, giving you a hassle-free gaming experience.


Getting the "Playable" status in our Early Access phase is a big deal, but it's just the beginning. We're keen to keep working on Desynced for Steam Deck.

Feel free to share your feedback, and stay tuned for further updates.
