Short answer: Yes, but you might need to do some tinkering.
R.E.P.O. isn’t officially Steam Deck Verified (yet), but it generally runs fine with Proton. That said, don’t expect a plug-and-play experience—you’ll need to do some work to get it feeling right.
What Works on Steam Deck
Performance seems solid – No major crashes or game-breaking issues reported.
Runs through Proton – No need for weird workarounds or dark magic.
What Needs Work on Steam Deck
Controls aren’t mapped by default. You’ll need to set them up yourself, but luckily, some players have already done the work and uploaded custom layouts.
The scroll wheel controls can be a pain. If you don’t want to spam the buttons, enable turbo mode for smoother gameplay.
Verdict: Playable, but DIY Required
If you don’t mind tweaking controls and adjusting settings, R.E.P.O. works just fine on the Steam Deck. But if you’re hoping for a fully optimized experience out of the box, you might want to wait until official support—or just embrace the chaos and map the buttons yourself.
