This just seems odd to me. I know it’s a competitive game, and most folks will be playing with a mouse and keyboard, but it feels weird for Valve to put out a brand new game (built from scratch, at that) and not plan for this.

      It says it’s playable. Just had some small text apparently. I’m trying to install it but steam is being weird telling me I have no Internet connection lol.

      So I loaded it up on my steam deck specifically for this comment. I only use the deck in handheld mode so I can’t report much other than the game is entirely broken.

      1. Inputs are for mouse/keyboard only. Controller support doesn’t seem to be there so I had to navigate the menus via touch screen. No big deal but I got into a practice match with bots.

      2. Initial realization that the above issue means you can’t move at all. There is no way to play the game.

      3. Realize there is no sound at all. Sound is broken in the game on Steam Deck (although on my Linux Mint desktop it works fine.)

      4. Just sitting there watching bots kill me was about 8-30 FPS. It was real hitchy and clearly not able to run on steam deck yet.

      5. Feeling like I had done my due diligence I uninstalled it.

      Overall rating: Garbage. Unplayable, even if you plug in a mouse and keyboard and play without hosting, maybe you could get 30+ FPS stably but no audio is an instant deal breaker in CS2.
