On the one hand, despite there being no dedicated support available right now, gamers could try playing the game anyway through Proton. However, we suspect it might not work well due to the quite demanding system requirements. That being said, there is also always the hope of a later dedicated Steam Deck port, though this seems extremely unlikely.
