Monster Hunter Wilds Now Steam Deck Verified by Valve

Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds has received official Steam Deck Verified status from Valve, according to a recent listing noted by SteamDB. The verification rating went live shortly after being processed, with Valve specifically recommending Proton Experimental for the title on the Steam Deck platform.

The Verified designation indicates the game meets Valve's criteria for handheld compatibility, though questions remain about actual playability beyond basic boot functionality. Valve has previously granted Verified ratings to titles that struggled with performance, such as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, suggesting the badge alone may not guarantee smooth gameplay.

In related developments, a Monster Hunter Wilds Prologue Demo remains available following a recent update. The demo includes all weapon types and story content up to Chapter 1-3, titled "To the Forest," with save data carrying over to the full release. Additionally, the game has received a permanent price drop alongside new DLC bundles.

Monster Hunter Wilds is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Capcom has also confirmed the title is in development for a future release on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 platform.
