PC storefronts

The official FAQ names Steam and Epic Games Store. Do not infer console releases without a current official announcement.

Controller troubleshooting

Disconnect extra input devices, enable Steam Input and use a standard gamepad layout. Connect DualSense by USB. If inputs still fail, test native input by disabling Steam Input and restart between tests.

Steam Deck

Official known issues explicitly say performance is being improved. Community experiences differ, especially in crowded outdoor areas and after longer sessions.
