Developed by SANDLOT and to be published by D3PUBLISHER, Earth Defense Force 6 is the upcoming game scheduled to be released on July 25, 2024, for the global audience. But do note that it has been available in Japan since 2022. The NA and EU versions will be available on PS5, PS4, and Windows PC (Steam & Epic Games). Serving as the sequel to Earth Defense Force 5, the game features a world set in 2024 AD where the battle against the invaders of Earth was won by mankind.

As stated in the game’s description, Earth Defense Force 6 offers the highest number of missions and weapons available in the series and also supports co-op play.

Steam Deck
As of now, Earth Defense Force 6 is not listed as a Verified or Playable title for the Steam Deck. You shouldn’t be surprised by this, since the game has yet to be released. So, right now, all we can provide you is speculation based on the Steam Deck support details of previous games in the series. Earth Defense Force 5, the prequel to the upcoming title, is listed as Playable for the Steam Deck on Steam, which makes it very likely that Earth Defense Force 6 will also support the Steam Deck. Considering that the game’s engine didn’t feature any huge upgrades and that the system requirements aren’t too much, we are quite sure that EDF 6 will be Steam Deck compatible, even if there is no official support provided. But since this is based on speculation, take this information with a pinch of salt.
Asus Rog Ally & Lenovo Legion Go
Both the Rog Ally and Legion Go are basically Windows machines that are reduced to the form factor of a handheld so that gaming on the go becomes a reality. Unlike the Steam Deck, you don’t need to check for any compatibility details of games with these devices since any PC game can be played on them, provided the game has support for controllers. With that said, you should be able to play EDF 6 on these handhelds with ease.
Now you know all about the support details of Earth Defense Force 6 for the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go. If you find this article informative, consider visiting Android Gram for more such interesting content.
