FAQ

Yes. Valve rates it Playable, not Verified. The default controller configuration is fully functional and performs well, but some interface text is hard to read and the button icons do not match the Steam Deck.

Is Emberward on Switch, PlayStation or Xbox?

Not yet. In the 1.0 announcement the developer said console ports are the next project, splitting time about evenly with new content. No platforms or dates were given.

Does Emberward work on Steam Deck?

Yes — Valve’s rating is Playable (not Verified). Valve’s test results:

⚠️ Some in-game text is small and hard to read on the Deck screen.
