Can you play The Isle on Steam Deck?
Firstly, it is quite advantageous that the game is available on Linux. This is because Steam Deck also works on a Linux Based operating system so you don’t have to take additional steps while installing it. Secondly, the game is yet not verified on Steam Deck which means you will not be getting an experience as good as PC when you play this title on your Steam Deck. So, if you lower your expectations a little bit and run the title regardless of its compatibility issues, you might be able to enjoy The Isle. Here are the game’s minimum system requirements-
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit or later (64 Bit ONLY)
- Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD processor, 3.0 GHz or faster.
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon R9 280X series card or higher.
- DirectX: Version 11
- Network: Broadband Internet connection
- Storage: 25 GB available space
Even though the system specs of the game indicate that Steam Deck can run it, there is a twist it comes with. The game does not work on the Steam Deck because the anti-cheat does not function with the device. However, you can run the legacy mode after making some tweaks, according to some users. This means the game’s compatibility is not developed fully as of now for Steam Deck. However, you can still play one mode. But, if you can ignore such issues, you can play this title.
