You will not be able to play God of War Ragnarok on the Steam Deck currently since Valve has not yet rated the title on its handheld console.
Players on PC will finally be able to play God of War Ragnarok two years after the game’s release on the PlayStation. Since the game is on Steam, you might want to know whether you can play God of War Ragnarok on the Steam Deck.
God of War Ragnarok is not available on the Steam Deck yet. In this article, we will look at some of the probable reasons behind the game’s unavailability on Steam Deck. We will also explore some possibilities of its eventual arrival to the handheld device.
Is God of War Ragnarok Compatible With Steam Deck?
God of War Ragnarok has not yet been rated by Valve for the Steam Deck. Ragnarok was initially made for and released on Sony’s PlayStation console. Its current PC edition is a port of the same. This might be one of the potential causes for its unavailability on the Steam Deck.
Previously, other Sony titles like Horizon Forbidden West and Ghost of Tsushima also suffered similar fates on the Steam Deck. Forbidden West was released around the same time as God of War Ragnarok on the console, and it is still unavailable on Valve’s handheld console. Ghost of Tsushima, on the other hand, was a different issue. The game was fully ready for Steam Deck, but its multiplayer had a compulsory PSN account link requirement.
The PSN account linking is fine, but it’s the PlayStation Overlay that seems to be incompatible with Steam Deck. God of War Ragnarok likely suffers from a similar scenario. This means you will not be able to play Ragnarok on Steam Deck at all. Not anytime in the near future at least, if we go by the Forbidden West or Ghost of Tsushima situation.
