ReStory is rated Playable on Steam Deck, not Verified. Valve says the default controller setup works, but some non-Deck icons can appear. This status was checked on 2026-08-12.
What Valve tested
Valve's current report says that the default controller configuration is functional, interface text is legible, and default graphics performance is good. It also notes that some non-Deck controller icons may appear.
Community control reports
Some Steam Deck players reported object-rotation or controller-layout problems during both the pre-release period and launch week. These are time-limited community reports, not a claim that every player will have the same issue.
What this rating does not prove
Playable does not guarantee a fixed frame rate, battery life, or problem-free controls. Later game, SteamOS, or Proton updates require a recheck.
