Palworld

PC, Xbox

verified

Steam Deck compatibility metadata lists Palworld as Verified, with default controller functionality, Deck controller icons, legible text, performant default graphics, and a note that external Bluetooth/USB controllers may need manual switching from the Quick Access Menu.

The Planet Crafter

PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Steam Deck

verified

Steam Deck compatibility metadata lists the game as Verified, with default controller functionality, Deck controller icons, legible text, and performant default graphics.

Mistfall Hunter

PC, Xbox, PlayStation

unknown

Steam Deck status has not been confirmed by Valve. The Steam listing includes partial controller support and Bellring Anti-Cheat, so handheld players should verify Proton and online matchmaking reports first.

unsupported

Valve lists Beast of Reincarnation as Steam Deck Unsupported. The official compatibility reason is graphics performance. Xbox handheld optimization is a separate rating and is not a Deck Verified result.

Best starting settings

  • Start with 1280×800 or 1152×720 resolution if the game struggles.
  • Use a 30 FPS cap for battery life, or 40 FPS when the game can hold it reliably.
  • Lower shadows, volumetrics, and post-processing before lowering textures.
  • Prefer FSR or in-game upscaling when supported, then check text readability.
  • For competitive games, prioritize stable frame pacing over visual quality.

Before you install on handheld

  • Check install size against your internal SSD or microSD card space.
  • Look for launcher, anti-cheat, and always-online requirements.
  • Open the game detail page for source links before relying on a rating.
  • Keep large multiplayer games on faster storage when possible.
