The First Descendant, Nexon’s brand new looter shooter is set to hit the shelves on July 2. From everything that was seen during the beta stages, the game is set to impress, but players have been wondering about its compatibility with the Steam Deck.
Most modern day releases can be played on multiple devices including handheld PCs. So here’s everything you need to know about The First Descendant and its compatibility with Valve’s handheld PC.
Is The First Descendant available on Steam Deck?
Yes, The First Descendant is available on Steam Deck. Although the game did have some compatibility issues on the platform during the beta stages, which can be bypassed by running the game on low settings and using Proton Hotfix, there’s a possibility that these will be sorted out in time for the game’s launch.
It’s also worth noting that Valve hasn’t officially rated this game for the Steam Deck yet, but these ratings are expected to come in closer to launch. The First Descendant does not have a hefty list of requirements either, so mid-range devices should be able to run the game with ease.
As listed on their official Steam page, the game supports cross-play with other platforms, so you will be able to seamlessly team up with your friends and participate in all the activities that the game has to offer.
Since it’s a cross-platform multiplayer title, there’s bound to be cross progression as well, so you’ll be able to play the game on multiple devices without missing out on the progress that you’ve made.
That’s all we know about The First Descendant and its availability on Steam Deck for now. We’ll be sure to update this piece as soon as there’s more information about Valve officially rating the game for its flagship handheld device.
