Exoprimal meets Steam Deck

Hey gamers, imagine being able to fight dinosaurs during your lunch break! With Capcom's new action spectacle Exoprimal and your Steam Deck, this dream could become a reality. But wait! Is Exoprimal even compatible with the Steam Deck? Let's find out!

Exoprimal, the latest gem from Capcom's workshop, throws you and your team into a thrilling adventure against hordes of prehistoric behemoths. Although it's not a sequel to the beloved Dino Crisis series, Exoprimal still seems to be a worthy successor - and perhaps a fantastic game for your Steam Deck.

Can you play Exoprimal on the Steam Deck?

Now, onto the burning question: Is Exoprimal compatible with the Steam Deck? The short answer is yes - but there are some nuances to consider. Valve's official confirmation is still pending. However, many players have reported success in achieving milestones during the game's open beta test.

But be cautious! Some players have noticed that the in-game text is difficult to read on the Steam Deck's 800p screen. And occasionally, symbols appear that are more suited for mouse, keyboard, or non-Steam Deck controllers.

Are the game's system requirements compatible with the Deck?

Not everyone has a top-of-the-line gaming PC at home. That's why it's good to know that Exoprimal's system requirements are quite moderate. An Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 560 will suffice - both well below the specifications of the Steam Deck. However, if you plan on playing Exoprimal on a larger screen, you might want to take a look at our selection of the best graphics cards.

Conclusion: Prehistoric fun on the go?

Seems like it! While we still await Valve's official confirmation, it appears that we'll soon be able to dive into battle with our Exoprimal key, our Steam Deck, and a sandwich in hand!
