GTA V Now Labeled Unsupported on Steam Deck, Impacting Multiplayer Experience
GTA V: Unsupported on Steam Deck
GTA V was a top pick on Valve’s Steam Deck, consistently ranking among the most played games. However, it has recently been labeled as unsupported due to compatibility issues with its online modes. This change has caught players off guard, especially since Rockstar had kept it in the top twenty for years.
Reasons Behind Compatibility Issues
- Rockstar broke compatibility with Valve's handheld devices.
- New anti-cheat restrictions impact GTA Online for Steam Deck users.
- Rockstar blames Valve for not supporting BattlEye on the Steam Deck.
The confusion originates from Rockstar’s claim about BattlEye not working on the Steam Deck. Interestingly, Valve states that enabling it is straightforward. Despite this, Rockstar has yet to clarify why they haven't implemented the change.
Single Player Still Available
Players can still access the beloved single-player mode, with Rockstar confirming that GTA V’s Story Mode remains playable. However, the absence of online features limits the overall gaming experience.
As the situation develops, players await further clarification from both Rockstar and Valve regarding the future of GTA V on the Steam Deck.
