To answer the obvious question - I don't know whether this means it's not coming to Steam, Epic Games Store or other PC storefronts, but it sounds like it's a Microsoft-only joint for the minute.

Apparently the dude couldn't be bothered to check the steam store page:

To be fair the steam page went up today

Lmao nice. Hopefully it doesn't require Microsoft. Would love to play this on Steam Deck with my friends

Would this run and be playable on a steam deck?

i played through the whole of below zero on a deck and it ran swimmingly! i think it was before final release too, so probably not even fully optimized at that point.

Hard to say for sure yet, but there is no reason to include any absurd anti-cheat and as long as they don't lose their fucking minds and decide to use some kind of insane drm, I reckon the answer is yes.

Idk the first one runs great

Looks like your good. It doesn't say a Microsoft account is required like it does on other store pages like forza horizon's

(This may just be because the store page is incomplete)

[–] deus@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

And just for the sake of completion, yes, it also has an Epic store page.
