Fortunately, Last Epoch is playable on Steam Deck

As of writing this article, Last Epoch is in a playable state on Steam Deck, despite Valve tagging the title as unsupported for the handheld device. This indicates that future support is on its way to deliver an unsolicited portable experience for the title.

Moreover, the patch 1.0 update has introduced controller support for the title, which makes it playable on the Steam Deck. The game also has a cross-progress system, which lets you switch between the hybrid console and PC.

However, a quick glance at the official forum will make you realize that the game is somewhat unoptimized for the portable experience. Testers have complained about frame drops during battle, which should not be surprising considering that official support is currently unavailable.

Regardless, as long as you tweak your in-game settings, you can still get the ARPG experience with Last Epoch on Steam Deck. You can also expect better performance once the official port is launched.

Meanwhile, check out its PC system requirements if you are planning to purchase the game any time soon.

Here are some of the playable alternatives to Last Epoch on Steam Deck:

• Diablo 4
• Torchlight 2
• Grim Dawn
• Path of Exile
• Darksiders Genesis

Diablo 4 got the same treatment as Last Epoch, as it took some time for the game to get officially verified by Valve for their handheld console. It was only available on Battlenet at launch.

However, Season of Blood saw Dablo 4’s official release on Steam, which made it much more accessible. Given the current setting, downloading this title on Steam Deck has become simpler, and you no longer have to go through complex workarounds to launch it.
