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 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.
