FIRESTARTERS Steam Deck, Controller and Platform Support

Which platforms can you rely on the official listing for?

The Steam store data marks Windows support and does not mark native macOS or Linux support. The product page lists single-player. For a Windows purchase, compare your system against the hardware requirements rather than assuming an unsupported platform works through a compatibility layer.

Question	What the reviewed official evidence supports
Windows PC	Listed platform
Native macOS or Linux build	Not listed
Single-player	Listed feature
Multiplayer or PvP	Not confirmed by the listing
Native gamepad support	Not confirmed in the reviewed official data
Steam Deck compatibility	No verified setup established here

Is there a verified Steam Deck launch procedure?

Not in the sources reviewed. A player’s direct Steam Deck question has no developer-provided recipe in the captured thread. An older Deck OLED demo report describes a Vulkan startup error despite trying several Proton versions, but that does not prove the current release behaves identically.

Do not turn isolated Linux or Proton comments into a guaranteed launch option, compatibility rating, or frame-rate promise. A recipe needs a named game build, device, OS and test result before it is useful purchase advice.

Does a controller request mean support is planned?

No. The Full Controller Support thread and a second request document player interest. They do not contain a developer release commitment in the captured material. A player’s suggestion to map a controller to keyboard and mouse is also different from native gamepad support.

If you require a controller, check the current store features and developer announcements before buying. Keyboard-layout trouble is addressed separately in the keybind guide.

Is PvP the same thing as leaderboards?

No. Steam lists leaderboards, while players requesting PvP are asking for another feature. Competitive scores do not establish real-time matches. The Arcade page explains the confirmed score-submission mode.
