Just a quick, but important announcement!

Steam's review team has VERIFIED Barony through their compatibility review of the Quality of Death build. Prior to the Quality of Death update, Barony was considered "Playable" on the Deck. Now since the Update has been launched, full controller support has been unleashed. Compatibility troubles have been resolved. All of your wildest dreams have come true. If you're a Steam Deck player, you'll find Barony has passed through all the red tape and will appear in your "Great On Deck" list. And we're not bragging that's just literally what it says. Somebody who works at Valve decided that, so maybe it's a pretty big deal IDK.

Some Tips

• Playing Barony on the Deck in handheld-mode is awesome. I recommend taking advantage of the Gamma feature in Barony's video settings if you're in a well-lit environment.
• If you have a Dock or other USB-C connector to put your Steam deck on your TV, that's a great place for Barony too. The UI is large enough at the default scale that many players find it comfortable to read, and you'll benefit from your big sound system and vibrating controller.
• Now that Barony has Split-Screen, we wholeheartedly recommend giving couch-co-op a try using the Steam Deck on your TV. With the Deck connected to 2-4 controllers, it's a great experience in Barony.
• The Deck is rad because Steam has the Steam Workshop. Explore Barony's workshop, subscribe to a few items, and activate / deactivate whatever you like from in-game. The Workshop can be a great experience from the couch thanks to the Steam Deck, and we managed to get that feature into the game with this update!

In the future we may be adding additional Deck-specific support, but for now it's a great experience. That's it for now. We hope you love playing Barony on your Steam Deck!
