Performance on the Steam Deck OLED is strong, maintaining a steady 60 FPS. The system draws an average of 7.5W during gameplay, which allows for over six hours of battery life. These metrics make it a viable option for long sessions away from a charger.
Controller support is present but has notable gaps in the default configuration. The default controller configuration omits bindings for certain necessary functions, including level restarts. The reviewer noted that while the game works well, it is not perfect due to these missing bindings.
Happy Wheels is priced at 4.99 USD (around $4.99) for global purchase. We looked at Happy Wheels closely alongside our earlier coverage on Steam Deck Adds 7 Verified Games. The game is available now for those willing to adjust the controls.
