Rejoice, Steam Deck and couch lovers: Gloomwood just got controller support
Gloomwood, the stealth-oriented immersive sim, has finally received the long-awaited controller support that players have been requesting for years. The feature addition marks a significant milestone for the indie title, making it more accessible to players who prefer using controllers for gameplay. The game has also been verified for Steam Deck compatibility, opening it up to the handheld gaming community and couch players.
The demand for controller support in Gloomwood had been substantial and persistent, with numerous requests appearing in the game’s Steam community forums over an extended period. The developers’ implementation of this feature addresses a commonly cited limitation that had prevented some players from enjoying the game through their preferred input method.
With Steam Deck Verification now achieved, players can expect optimized performance and interface scaling for Valve’s handheld device. This certification status indicates the game meets Proton compatibility standards and provides a quality gaming experience on the Steam Deck’s screen and hardware specifications.
The addition of controller support represents an important accessibility and platform expansion milestone, potentially bringing the stealth game to a broader audience of couch-based and handheld gaming enthusiasts who had previously been unable to comfortably play the experience.
