DOGWALK is a free casual game from the Blender Studio out now

Edit: so I've just tested it on the Deck and the controls are fine. The performance isn't there, though, which is very surprising given the requirements listed on the Store page. The GPU is maxed out and it's dropping into the 20s. Some more work on the Godot side to see what's up is in order, I would say.
Legend. Thanks for testing that out and providing feedback!

Have you thought about adding your experience to ProtonDB?

Anyone know if this is working on the Steam Deck? I might send this article to my wife.

Palworld is now Steam Deck Verified and SteamOS Compatible
12 Jul 2025 at 1:18 am UTC

Awesome news... Now I can finally purchase this game for my children, my wife and myself (I refused to do so until the developers put the effort in to have this at a state which could be considered Verified or Playable)!

And of course, I'll buy all the copies at full price, because f*%k Nintendo.

How to see SteamOS compatibility in the store on desktop Linux? I only see "Steam Deck Compatibility."
Why not just install the 'ProtonDB for Steam' add-on ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/protondb-for-steam/ [External Link] )?

Not only does it show ProtonDB ratings (which are usually more accurate) in the Steam Store directly (you'll see them to the right of the footage / screenshots), but you can click on the rating to be taken directly to the relevant ProtonDB page.

NVIDIA confirm upcoming driver will be the last for Maxwell, Pascal and Volta

They still do get the next driver. The next driver series. So I think it sounds more dangerous than it is at the moment.
That's not what this article says though... It explicitly states that NVIDIA will be ending driver support for the aforementioned cards.

AMD tease new gaming chips that combine "Ryzen and Radeon for consoles, handhelds" and more

@LoudTechie :
but it's latest models are competitive with Qualcomms ARM desktop processors in preformance and battery life(AMD's only realistic opponent from the ARM side).
Are they though? Apple's 'M' series chips are pretty powerful, and their minimal power usage it next level.

It's about AMD's chips, so my comment is completely relevant, since some sections of the industry are moving towards ARM-based C{Us, which often offer loads of raw power with minimal power usage... Which is perfectly suited to mobile devices like the Steam Deck.

In saying that, changing the architecture would make it significantly more difficult for all of the existing games to run smoothly, if at all, (under a Linux-based operating system or Microsoft Windows), so there's that awfully big hurdle.

I wonder if they'll come up with an ARM-based competitor to Apple's chips... Loads of raw power with significantly improved usage times / less power usage.

3DMark are planning a Linux version but no date for it yet
17 Jun 2025 at 12:27 pm UTC

I'm not sure how someone who specializes in benchmarking software doesn't understand that.
Unless the intention is to convince people to continue to use Windows?

Escape Simulator drops the Linux build to focus on supporting Proton

And yet they'll maintain a separate release for macOS... Considering macOS' market share compared to Linux, this is just blatant laziness and hypocrisy.
