We can’t say that developers from Saber Interactive are closed to fans. On the contrary, they are quite open and share information about the game. Recently, they have published Community Update with a lot of important information. Thanks to that we know that Ray Tracing and HDR compatibility is not their priority. However, ultrawide support is something which will appear rather sooner than later. Moreover, there are also details about the fate of Space Marine 2 on Steam Deck.
Will the game be playable on Steam Deck?
We are working on official Steam Deck support, but it's not ready yet. We’re currently targeting the end of the year for full Steam Deck support.
As you can see, Steam Deck version is planned. However, keep in mind that “target” and “will be released” are two different things. It means that we can expect the official support by the end of the year, but we should not be surprised if it will appear in 2025. Of course, it does not mean that the game will be completely unplayable on Steam Deck at launch. As the history shows, often games which are officially not supported work well on Valve’s device. We will have to wait for the premiere and check out the first impressions.
