Steam Deck: what we know and do not know
Confirmed: Michał Marcinkowski groups Steam Deck with the PC/Mac/Linux launch in the announcement FAQ. Steam’s platform checkboxes for app 5163450 include Windows, macOS, and Linux; Deck play typically runs the Linux build through Proton or a native Linux build—Valve has not documented which path Brushland will use.
Not announced yet (as of 2026-10-18):
- Steam Deck Verified (or Playable / Unsupported) badge
- Handheld-specific graphics settings or text size
- Demo availability on Deck versus desktop only
Minimum specs ( 4 GB RAM, Vulkan on Linux ) are modest, but recommended requirements are not announced yet, so real Deck battery life and frame pacing remain unknown.
Consoles: Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox
The FAQ line “Switch, PlayStation and Xbox later” is the only console guidance. There is no:
- Announcement trailer badge for consoles
- Nintendo eShop or PlayStation Store listing in our verified sources
- Year or quarter for any console port
