SteamDeckHQ has also posted a first look, and praises how well the game runs.

The game unfortunately does require a PlayStation network account.

The game has the same PlayStation overlay that's incompatible with Linux, but when playing on Steam Deck the overlay is automatically disabled. Desktop Linux players will need to use the SteamDeck=1 %command% launch option to disable the overlay.

There’s a playstation overlay now? What the fuck for?

Somehow forcing us to use a PlayStation account and having an unnecessary overlay that breaks the game for Linux users is supposed to get us to buy PlayStations. I'm not a Sony executive though so I'm not sure exactly on the details.

Isn't it obvious? Number go up!!! In this case, the number going up is the amount countries that can't play sony games.

It's about the data. It's always about the data.

So even if they provided official DualSense driver for Linux, don't bother to make their games compatible.
Why?

I'll be waiting for a crack that circumvents this. If I get the game someday.

[–] RiQuY@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

It's already out.

Does the launch option disabled the sign in requirement?

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

No unfortunately
