No mention in the article or on the Steam store page of whether it’s meant to be compatible with the Steam Deck or not.
This game has been on my wishlist since I spotted it on Steam a while back, but I’m not likely to buy it unless I can play it on the Deck. I’ve got too many other games in my backlog already that don’t run on it, but I need more casual games I can play on my Deck while watching TV.

I’m sorry, but this is the most “iPad Kid” thing I’ve ever read.

It’s nice to play something casual with something else playing in the background

It’s more stressful than ets2 so you can’t watch tv while playing 😞

Looks like there’s a demo. How’s that play?

I didn’t try it on my Deck but it ran great under Proton on my main rig. A little bare bones in the demo and the rates you run out of power/O2 and systems got worn out was cranked way up to show how it would work, so it wasn’t as chill as I was hoping. Full version should be a little calmer so I’m looking forward to it

Good suggestion.
It runs okay, but the segment after the jump gate didn’t run very well with everything on screen, even at low settings.
Besides that, the flying itself feels sluggish and unsatisfying, and the demo has you fucking with the radio while you’re trying to drive.
Also, I could swear it had an AI trucker steer into me so it could teach me about crash penalties, but then it made me deal with the radio shit while my truck was yelling at me for leaking air. I rage quit the demo at that point.
Overall, not very impressed. It’s got too much going on for a truck sim.
