The answer first
The checked material does not establish an official Steam Deck Verified status. Community discussion and creator footage can show individual results, but the official PC minimum specification is much higher than Deck-class hardware, so treat performance as unconfirmed and use Steam refund rules carefully.

What is verified
- The official PC requirements target Windows 11 and desktop-class minimum hardware.
- A Steam community discussion about Deck performance exists.
- No official Deck compatibility badge is asserted by this page.
What needs more evidence
- Stable frame rate across the whole game is not confirmed.
- A specific Proton version or settings preset is not guaranteed.
- One user report cannot establish universal compatibility.
What to do next
- Check the current Steam Deck compatibility badge in Steam.
- Compare the latest Proton and patch reports.
- Test early areas within the applicable refund window.
- Expect different results by resolution, power limit, and patch.
Why the status is cautious
The official minimum configuration names a GTX 1070 or RX 5700-class GPU and 16 GB RAM. That does not directly translate to handheld performance, and it should not be converted into a Deck guarantee.
How to evaluate a community report
Match the report date, game patch, Proton version, resolution, power limit, frame cap, and tested area. A stable opening segment does not prove late-game stability.
Practical test order
Check the current Steam badge, install on internal SSD storage when possible, use conservative settings, and test both traversal and combat before deciding whether the result is acceptable.
