There’s now confirmation that Elden Ring will run on the Steam Deck.
Yes, the fantasy of taking FromSoftware’s massive new action RPG on the go will soon be a reality. Industry insider Wario64 confirmed on Twitter that Elden Ring is verified to run on the Steam Deck. The timing couldn’t be better, as Valve will start sending out confirmation emails to everyone that pre-ordered a Steam Deck tomorrow before shipping begins on Feb. 28, 2022.
There are currently four different categories for Steam Deck compatibility. Being “verified” is currently the highest level of support, meaning Elden Ring ticks every box on Valve’s checklist — much like No Man’s Sky.

How well Elden Ring performs on the Steam Deck is another matter entirely, and we won’t know until Valve starts getting the device into everyone’s hands.
The Steam Deck was initially going to come out last December until supply chain issues forced a delay. Valve has been insisting that everything is on track for the current release date, and as of Thursday, Feb. 24, 2022, it seems as though there will not be any additional delays. Here’s to hoping nothing goes wrong for early adopters in the next few days!
