I had this on my wish list from ages ago, it's on sale for $3.99 now, which is super cheap but I'm not sure if it will work on the deck, or if the game is even worth my time. I've already got five other games in the pipe, but if this is really excellent and works well on the deck then I might get it. Thanks for any insight

I haven’t played it on the deck, but the game itself was fun. The controls are more approachable and arcade like than a space sim such as Elite Dangerous. VR + HOTAS is the way to go if you want to really feel like you are flying an X-Wing. My only complaint is that it involves EA.

Haven’t played it in a while, but can confirm it worked on my Deck 6mo ago - as a note this was after the EA launcher update. I’d be surprised if it didn’t work for you.

Seems to need some tinkering, according to ProtonDB.

Oh, my bad. But same deal.

Verified . On ever Stream game store page it states the Steam Deck compatible, under the ESRB rating. Next time just scroll down and check yourself 👍.

Works well and is fun. Not as good as the old space sims but still great. It was one of the first games to support Easy Anti Cheat on the Deck.
