nevertheless The Last of Us Part I Although (semi-)playable on the Steam Deck, the game has been classified as “unsupported” by Valve. According to Naughty Dog, Steam Deck verification is currently not a priority.
Can The Last of Us Part 1 be played with Steam Decks?
Those who want to play The Last of Us Part 1 on the go can, but expect that performance to be a mess. Naughty Dog isn’t focused on handhelds at the moment, as he’s busy fixing his game on PC.
“I know a lot of people want to play The Last of Us Part I on Steam Deck” Naughty Dog Admitted“We are prioritizing fixes and patches before submitting for validation. We will continue to update Steam deck status as we continue to improve the PC version.”
This makes The Last of Us Part 1 an outlier among other PlayStation first-party games on Steam, but leaving its verification status last on the list is probably a great idea.
Prior to the game’s launch, Naughty Dog promised The Last of Us Part 1 would be playable on handhelds. Players who bought the game to play on the go are understandably unhappy with this news.
