No, Wild Hearts is not playable on Steam Deck. This will likely prove disappointing for players that were hoping to take their hunting on the go. However, this could change in the future as the developer didn’t out rule it.

During an official Wild Hearts Reddit AMA, one of the developers gave the following statement: 

“The game won’t be supported on the Steam Deck at launch. I have one though and want this as much as you! Hopefully, we can get to this in the future.”

So, we could see a Wild Hearts Steam Deck announcement in the future. 

For those that are still looking to take their hunting on the go, then there’s still Monster Hunter: Rise and its Sunbreak expansion, which can both be played on the Steam Deck. While Monster Hunter has a lot of gameplay differences, it does scratch that same itch, which makes it the perfect addition to your Steam Deck library.
