[p]We’ve been hard at work ensuring that Hubert feels right at home on the Steam Deck. Whether you’re on a train or lounging on the couch, we want your experience with Hubert to be seamless.[/p][p]We have officially optimized the game to meet Valve’s "Verified" standards. Here is exactly what we’ve updated:[/p]

• [p]Full Controller Support: Every menu and gameplay mechanic in Hubert is now fully navigable using the Steam Deck’s physical controls.[/p]
• [p]Legible Text: We’ve scaled our UI and font sizes to ensure everything is crystal clear on the 1280 x 800 display.[/p]
• [p]Native Glyphs: No "Press E" confusion! The game automatically detects your controller and displays the correct Steam Deck button icons.[/p]
• [p]Proton Compatibility: We’ve tested Hubert extensively on SteamOS to ensure stable performance and no crashes.[/p]
• [p]Seamless Entry: If you need to name a save file or enter text, the Steam Deck on-screen keyboard will now trigger automatically.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]🔧 Recommended Settings for Steam Deck[/h3][p]To get the best balance of visual fidelity and battery life, we recommend the following in-game settings:[/p]

• [p]Resolution: 1280 x 800 (Native)[/p]
• [p]Graphics Preset: Medium[/p]
• [p]Shadow Quality: Low[/p]
• [p]Frame Limit: 30 FPS[/p]

[p]Note: Lowering Shadow Quality to Medium provides a significant performance boost on the Deck’s APU while keeping the rest of the world looking crisp on the High preset.[/p][p][/p][h3]Tested in the Real World![/h3][p]Hubert in action! We’ve been playtesting on the Deck at recent events, and the feedback has been fantastic. Seeing players take Hubert on the go has been a highlight for our team.[/p][p][/p][h3]Current Status: Playable & Polished[/h3][p]While we wait for the official "Green Checkmark" from Valve’s review team, the game is 100% playable from start to finish on the Deck right now.[/p]

[p]Developer Note: If you encounter any bugs while playing on handheld, please let us know in the Steam Discussion forums! Your feedback helps us get that official Verified badge even faster.[/p]

[p]Thank you for supporting Hubert![/p]

We’d love to meet you and hear your thoughts.[/p][p]See you in Taipei![/p]

Every wishlist, every kind comment, and every bit of excitement you’ve shared brings us closer to releasing Hubert’s story and we couldn’t be more grateful.[/p][p][/p][p]The road ahead still has a few muddy puddles (and probably a bug or two that thinks it’s a feature), but your support gives us the motivation to keep going strong. 🐾[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for being part of this journey. We can’t wait to show you more soon.[/p][p][/p][p]💛 The Brocap Studio Team[/p]
