Can you Play Death on the Nile on Steam Deck? If you are eyeing a couch-ready whodunit and the store page shows Unknown, you are not alone. Before you commit, here is what to expect on LCD and OLED Decks, plus the exact SteamOS and in-game settings I used to keep the mystery running smoothly.
Is Death on the Nile Steam Deck Compatible?
Yes, you can play Death on the Nile on Steam Deck even though it currently has an Unknown compatibility rating, which simply means Valve has not finished testing it. However, unknown does not equal unplayable. Many titles with this tag run fine with little to no tweaks, and I am happy to report that Death on the Nile is one of them.
Death on the Nile on Steam Deck uses an Xbox controller layout, and every button prompt displays and works correctly, so you shouldn’t run into control frustrations. I also didn’t need many changes to the SteamOS or in-game graphics settings to keep the game smooth during cutscenes, puzzles, and menu navigation.
