That is not currently supported, as we are focused on adding all features that are already present on other platforms before we can consider it. Stay tuned for any updates about it!

While the focus is still on mouse and keyboard right now, the game now supports controllers in Port and battle, with more improvements coming in future! [/p][p][/p][p]Can I play World of Warships: Legends on my Steam Deck?[/p][p]Yes! There is now experimental support for playing Legends on Steam Deck. We still plan to make various UI improvements in future updates, but feel free to give it a try and let us know what you think!

It varies based on the battle type, with the overall averages being around 5–8 minutes and the maximum possible battle time being 15 minutes for Standard Battles.

Versus AI, Arcade, Standard, Brawl and Ranked Battles are now supported in the Steam version.[/p][p]Note: Some modes listed above may not be available during this Playtest

Can I stream the game or create content about it?
