Hey everyone!

Weve made it easier to jump straight into the fun in Polterguys: Possession Party. Quickplay now searches around the world to find an active game for you. If a match is already underway, youll drop in as a spectator and join the action at the start of the next round.

No matter where the party is, theres always a spot for you.

We hope this update helps bring players together and makes jumping in quicker and easier. Cant wait to see you all causing chaos in Polterguys!

Thanks for playing!

Just a quick heads-up: Polterguys: Possession Party works well on Steam Deck! We've tested it internally and had no issues performance is solid, controls feel good, and nothing breaks.


We also made a native Linux build especially for Steam Deck, so the game runs at maximum performance without relying on Proton or Windows compatibility layers.

Were still waiting on the official Steam Deck Verified checkmark, but in the meantime, if youre playing on Deck and spot anything weird, let us know. That feedback helps.

Thanks for playing,
