If you’re wondering if Sons of the Forest is on Steam Deck, we’ve gone over all of the key information here.
Sons of the Forest Early Access releases on February 23rd. We’ve already covered if Sons of the Forest is on PS5 and Xbox, and while console gamers might be missing out, that doesn’t mean that Steam Deck users have to experience the same feelings.
Sons of the Forest is a sequel to the The Forest, which became a cult classic game shortly after it released. The game is set in a hellish sandbox landscape in which you fight against mutants alongside your teammates. However, while the first game released in 2014, nine years on things are looking even more exciting. The question you’re here to see answered is if Sons of the Forest is on Steam Deck:
Is Sons of the Forest on Steam Deck?
We’ve had a look on the Sons of the Forest Steam page and, unfortunately, it doesn’t state directly whether or no it’s compatible with the Steam Deck. The game is launching into early access, and its not officially launching. This is a good thing, as the soft launch gives the developers a chance to make sure everything is optimised for the PC launch before the Steam Deck.
The page also does state that there is full support for the a controller – which suggests that there’s no reason the game won’t also be fully compatible with the Steam Deck
The Forest is also compatible with the Steam Deck, which gives users of Valve’s handheld gaming device a lot of hope.
We think it’s highly likely that Sons of the Forest will be playable on Steam Deck, however, until the game is actually released into early access, we’re yet to find out. Make sure to check back in with us for regular updates on the Steam Deck and Sons of the Forest compatibility.
