Looking to play Last Epoch on Steam Deck? We’ve got you covered with everything we know about how the action RPG performs on Valve’s portable powerhouse.
The fight for Eterra has begun now that Last Epoch has finally landed on Steam. The brand-new action RPG combines time travel, dungeon crawling, and in-depth character customization as you fight your way to set the timeline to a new path.
As you journey through time and square off against dark empires and wrathful gods, there’s endless replayability. With a myriad of classes to master, and multiple skill trees to control, the Last Epoch is ideal for picking up and playing on the go on the Valve handheld.
With that in mind, here’s everything we know about whether or not Last Epoch is playable on Valve‘s Steam Deck.
Can you play Last Epoch on Steam Deck?
Last Epoch is playable on the Steam Deck and has been officially verified by Valve.
Last Epoch has been given a playable commendation, however, it misses out on being fully verified due to some minor issues. On the game’s Steam page, Valve states that it may “require extra effort to interact with” the Last Epoch due to some in-game text being difficult to read, and some functionality not being accessible with the default controller configuration.

Since the Last Epoch 1.0 patch, the RPG can run on the Steam Deck, now with controller support included, although not without some caveats. YouTube Channel Steam Deck Gaming reported the game plays great on the Deck, although there are some instances of micro-stuttering.
Throughout testing, Steam Deck Gaming noted that the game sat at approximately around 60 FPS. However, with Last Epoch being heavy in NPCs there can occasionally be drops to both 50 and 40 FPS respectively.
The Last Epoch system requirements only call for 22GB of install space, which isn’t a lot by today’s standards. Yet if you’re planning on playing you may want to ensure you have enough storage on your Deck so you don’t have to delete any other games.
Picking up one of the best microSD cards for the Steam Deck will help ensure you have plenty of storage space for Last Epoch, and any Steam Deck game you want to play on the go. Especially if you haven’t yet picked up the 1TB Steam Deck OLED or upgraded the SSD.
