Very good news especially since they use EAC. Hopefully this sets a precedent that other developers follow and not just the same thing we've seen over and over of "sorry, too many cheaters on linux with only 0.1% playerbase so we cant afford to support it now"

This is impressive!

I’ve mostly been playing this on desktop Linux. I think the only thing they were working on was handheld optimization and interface tweaks.

There’s still one annoying bug - on Windows, the game shows a notification if a match starts while the game is off focus. On Linux, at the moment this notification would show (if alt tabbed) the game freezes.

Awesome news

Helldivers 2 is also steam deck verified...and it runs like ass on anything non trivial difficulty

Can anyone confirm if this is ACTUALLY verified?

That's incredible. There's so many multiplayer games that don't work on Steam Deck because of their garbage DRM.

Bought it yesterday. Been enjoying it so far. What settings are you guys running and how’s battery life? I suspect battery problems on my deck, I got MAYBE 20 minutes out of it before it shut down in my second mission.

Good. Too bad a this PVE game turned in to a PVP game and not a very good one.

Refunded and hoping that they tweak it a bit, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.
