Does Dark and Darker work on Steam Deck?? Best described as DnD meets Skyrim, Dark and Darker will be an epic FPS RPG you won’t want to put down. Like Dungeons and Dragons, co-op is the name of the game, so you can play with friends over a traditional tabletop using Valve’s portable powerhouse.
Whether you’re planning a portable quest or want to explore dungeons on your desktop, it’s worth checking out the system requirements for Dark and Darker. This will help you run the Steam Next Fest demo and avoid PC spec performance issues.
Are Dark and Darker Steam Deck compatible?
Yes, Dark and Darker will work on Steam Deck.As our tests confirm, the hardcore RPG works on handheld devices. You’ll have to turn down a few settings to get the frame rate up, but the first-person fantasy adventure on a laptop feels relatively smooth.
However, it should be noted that Steam Deck compatibility is subject to change, our experience only applies to the Dark and Darker demo. The game is still in alpha testing and future internal changes may interfere with roleplaying on handheld devices. However, there is a good chance that the co-op will retain your support throughout its development and eventually reach “Verified” status with a few changes.
On that note, Valve says that it’s still looking into compatibility for Dark and Darker, and there are several aspects that currently keep it off the “Great on Deck” list. For starters, the UI elements are not designed for the bridge screen, so the text and icons are small. There’s also no official gamepad support, so you’ll have to improvise by using the trackpads as your mouse cursor.
However, there are already great community designs that fill this particular gap, meaning you can play Dark and Darker using Valve’s controls without too much trouble. You can even pair your portable device with the best Steam Deck docking station and the best PC controller if you want to kick back on the couch.
