Current Steam Deck status
Probably Stolen is not Steam Deck Verified. Steam listed its compatibility status as Unknown when checked on August 11, 2026. A developer also said native Steam Deck support had not yet been implemented.
You may still be able to test the game with mouse emulation, but that is a player workaround rather than official controller support. Check the Steam store again after major Playtest updates because the status can change.
What “Unknown” means
An Unknown label means Valve has not given the game a Verified or Playable rating. It does not prove that the game cannot launch, but it also does not promise that menus, controls, text, and every shop interaction will work comfortably on Deck.
Treat the device as unsupported for planning purposes unless the store label or a newer developer announcement says otherwise. This is especially important if Steam Deck will be your only way to play.
Player-reported setup
One player reported using Keyboard → Mouse Emulation before launching the game. With that setup, the trackpad can be used like a mouse for pointing and clicking. This may provide a basic way to enter the Playtest and test shop interactions.
The exact Steam Input menu and button mapping can vary with your selected layout. Start with a layout that exposes mouse movement, left click, right click, and keyboard keys you need for menus. Do not expect the game to switch to controller button prompts.
What the workaround can and cannot do
Mouse emulation can help with menus and interactions designed around a pointer. It does not add native controller navigation, automatic button prompts, aim assistance, or a Deck-specific interface. Text entry and actions that require precise clicking may still feel awkward.
The player report does not confirm that every interaction can be completed. Test essential actions early—inventory navigation, right-click menus, dragging, holding the mouse button, and closing dialogs—before committing to a longer session.
UI readability
Players have reported that some interface text and readable pages can feel small on the Steam Deck screen. No official Deck text-size preset or recommended handheld resolution has been confirmed. If text is difficult to read, try the available display settings and compare fullscreen with windowed modes.
Players who need large text or full controller-only navigation should wait for a current compatibility update or verify the latest build personally. A successful launch does not guarantee a comfortable complete playthrough.
Controller support
Native controller support has not been confirmed. A separate community discussion shows demand for controller and Steam Deck support, but it does not include a release date or promised control scheme from the developer.
For now, assume keyboard-and-mouse input is the intended baseline. Steam Input can imitate that input, but it should be described as a workaround rather than built-in support.
Before you request Playtest access
- Check the current compatibility label on the official Steam page.
- Read the latest Playtest patch notes for control or UI changes.
- Make sure you are comfortable using a trackpad as a mouse.
- Test right-click, dragging, and hold actions as soon as the game starts.
- Keep an external keyboard and mouse available if possible.
