A newRimWorldpatch has brought “full support” for Steam Deck, updating the interface for Valve’s handheld gaming PC. The excellent sci-fi colony-building sandbox is the sort of game I would most like to potter around the house with, maybe play a few minutes on the pot, so that’s nice. Not that I would take a Steam Deck to the toilet. But in theory. Look, I’m just pretending this is about me so I don’t have to accuse you of anything.

“Today’s update makes the Deck controls more intuitive, refines the touchscreen interface, improves the UI and keyboard, and adds an easy way to access the Deck’s controller config options,” the devs explain in theRimWorld v1.3.3326 patch notes. These changes include, along with updated tooltips and options and things, the following list:
This should play nicely with mods, though player reports suggest potentially a few might have slipped through the cracks. The Steam Deck updates required a new version of Valve’s Steamworks API, which would break compatibility with some mods, so developers Ludeon Studios ran a public beta to give modders time to update. They also say they “personally reached out to dozens of modders to help prevent mods from breaking.” After that, “the known incompatibilities should be solved now - thanks to all modders who responded!”
