01
Valve currently returns category 0
The public Steam compatibility report for app 3751260 returned success, resolved_category 0, and an empty resolved-items list. In this context category 0 means no published Deck verdict was resolved in the captured response. It should be displayed as unrated or not yet tested, not translated into Unsupported.
02
The store page shows no Deck badge
The captured Steam listing likewise does not display a public Verified, Playable, or Unsupported badge. The API and store page therefore agree. Because Valve can update compatibility after testing or patches, this status should be rechecked rather than frozen permanently into the guide.
03
Minimum PC requirements are demanding
Bandai Namco lists Windows 10 with DirectX 12, 16 GB RAM, a GTX 1060 or RX 580, 60 GB of SSD storage, and 6 GB VRAM at minimum. These desktop targets suggest a meaningful performance challenge for a handheld, but hardware comparisons alone cannot predict frame pacing, shader behavior, or launch optimization.
04
Recommended specifications raise the target
The recommended graphics options include an RTX 4060, RX 7600 XT, or Intel Arc B580 with 8 GB VRAM. This helps set expectations for visual quality on desktop systems. It still does not establish which settings, resolution, upscaler, or frame cap would be required on Steam Deck.
05
Full controller support is a positive input, not a verdict
Steam advertises full controller support, which reduces one uncertainty for handheld play. Deck compatibility also depends on readable text, correct prompts, launcher behavior, suspend and resume, video playback, anti-cheat or middleware, and acceptable performance. Controller support by itself does not qualify a game as Verified.
06
Launch-day handheld test checklist
A complete verdict needs native SteamOS testing of boot and login, default settings, combat frame pacing, busy-city performance, traversal stutter, battery draw, text size, controls, cutscenes, save behavior, and suspend-resume. Record the SteamOS version and game build. Until those results or a Valve badge exist, the answer remains officially unrated.
