Valve gives Path of Exile 2 the Steam Deck seal of approval, just in time for 1.0
Covered by 2 sources · 2 articles
Path of Exile 2 has been bumped up to Steam Deck Verified status ahead of its 1.0 release, Grinding Gear Games confirmed. The action RPG was previously listed as Playable on Valve's handheld due to interface concerns, specifically small in-game text that proved problematic for portable play. The upgrade to Verified means the developer has addressed those accessibility issues and optimized the experience sufficiently for Steam Deck's smaller screen, clearing the way for players to take the full release with them.
- Path of Exile 2 moves from Steam Deck Playable to Verified tier just as the game launches version 1.0.
- Text legibility on the handheld was the main barrier previously holding back a full verification.
- The certification signals Grinding Gear Games has refined the interface for portable play.
Steam Deck Verified status at launch expands Path of Exile 2's audience to portable players and legitimizes the handheld as a serious platform for demanding ARPGs.
