The Elder Scrolls Online now carries the official Steam Verified badge on the Steam Deck. This certification resolves previous compatibility issues that prevented smooth gameplay on Valve's handheld console.
Official certification resolves launcher and control barriers on Valve handheld
The changes enhance the complete gameplay experience on the Steam Deck. Players can now launch the title directly from their device without encountering earlier launcher or control barriers.
Valve's verification process required fixes for touchscreen navigation in the launcher and proper virtual keyboard setup. The studio also addressed gamepad control mapping to ensure standard controller inputs work as expected on the handheld.
Although not detailed in the official patch notes, these fixes were likely included in a recent update and now enable smooth access to the game directly from the Steam Deck menu.
This official badge verifies that the game satisfies Valve's requirements for performance and user experience on the device. Users should enjoy consistent performance and smooth controls with no need for custom settings adjustments.
