Which platforms is Lethal Company available on?
Zeekerss cooperative survival horror video game, Lethal Company. was released in early access for Microsoft Windows on October 23, 2023. Within a month, the game garnered massive popularity on Valve’s PC game distribution storefront Steam.
Developers decided to launch the early access only for the Windows platform. Hence, the game is currently available only for PC players through Steam. However, the developers have expressed their willingness to complete the development and fully launch the game within six months, while launching the early access. Thus, players can expect a full launch in the first half of 2024.
Interestingly, the indie game outsold many AAA titles on Steam soon after its release. Thus setting a new milestone for indie games. Besides, even before its full release, it has already won the Better With Friends award at the Steam Awards 2023, apart from being nominated in the prestigious ‘Game of the Year’ category.
Is Lethal Company playable on Steam Deck?
While the game is available on Steam, several users were doubtful of the game’s availability on Steam Deck. As good news, the game is playable on Steam’s handheld console, according to the game’s official page on Steam. The game has the “playable” status on Steam Deck. This means that it may not offer the most ideal experience on the device as on the desktop, but it will function as intended.
Steam mentions it “might require extra effort to interact with or configure.” The company narrowly misses on being fully verified, since some of the game’s functions require the use of the virtual keyboard. The non-Steam Deck icons such as the mouse, keyboard, and others happen to appear during gameplay.
As per the Steam page, Lethal Company is still in early access, thus its compatibility with Steam Deck will likely change in the coming months. Additionally, the developers plan on making the game abundant with creatures, items, customization, and map variations.
The additions could also possibly affect the system requirements, further boosting the compatibility of the game on the Steam Deck. Thus the game would become better suited for the desktop PC, as well as help the indie horror hit get the fully verified status.
