- It's Official: Stellar Wanderer DX is Steam Deck Verified! - 8 August 2026
Hello, explorers! It's official - Stellar Wanderer DX is now Steam Deck Verified. Before launch we told you we'd self-audited the game against Valve's compatibility pillars and that you could jump in with confidence. Valve has now reviewed the game and come to the same conclusion, and the green badge is live on the store page. What Verified means for you Input: Full controller support, with all on-screen prompts automatically switching to Xbox glyphs. Seamlessness: No external launchers, no "tinker required" pop-ups, and full Cloud Save support for swapping between PC and Deck mid-run. Display: Native 1280x800 and 1280x720 support, with legible text at handheld distance. Proton: Runs on the default Proton version with no configuration needed. In short: install it, press play, and you're in orbit. Thank you! A genuine thank you to everyone who tested on Deck during the pre-launch window…

All 22 shards can now be properly collected. Huge thanks to Shadwen for helping us track this one down! If you were affected: no action needed - the achievement will unlock automatically the next time you land at a base.
