Monster hunting on-the-go
An officialWild HeartsSteam Deck version would be a fantastic way to take your monster-hunting exploits on the go. Having a coffee at Starbucks while taking down a challenging beast sounds like bliss. Publisher EA and developer Koei Tecmo gave an official answer as to whether or notWild Heartsis compatible with the Steam Deck or not.
IsWild HeartsSteam Deck optimized?
Unfortunately, as of the time of writing, there is no officialWild Heartsoptimization for this portable device by EA or Koei Tecmo.Wild Heartshas not yet been fully tested yet by Valve, despite other early 2023 games like theDead SpaceremakeandHi-Fi Rushgetting the official tick.
“The game won’t be supported on the Steam Deck at launch.,” said Executive Producer Lewis Harvey on aReddit AMA. “I have one though and want this as much as you!”Wild Heartsfans, however, shouldn’t give up hope because Harvey also mentioned that they hope to “get to this in the future.”
Will it be worth waiting for?
WhileWild Heartswill still be bootable on Steam Deck, there is no guarantee it will run well on the system. However, it may be worth the risk. According toour preview, the game will have exciting action, an interesting trap system, and dynamic environments. “I’m going to love exploring this world,” said Chris Carter. “It looks fantastic, and nearly every character/enemy model I’ve seen so far is pronounced.”
Hopefully, that world can be scouted furtherportablyif an officialWild HeartsSteam Deck update is released.
