Will Tekken 8 be on Steam Deck?

The King of the Iron Fist Tournament returns with Tekken 8. The 3D fighting game has landed on current-gen platforms and PC, which might lead you to wonder about a Steam Deck release. Here’s everything you need to know about Tekken 8 on the Steam Deck.

After an eight-year absence since the release of Tekken 7, the beloved franchise has made a return with Tekken 8. The game packs in a ton of content including a fresh story campaign, multiple new characters, and more.

Tekken 8 has launched on PS5, Xbox Series XIS, and PC, but you may still be in the dark about its compatibility with the Steam Deck. If you’re wondering whether the game runs on Valve’s handheld, here’s everything to know about Tekken 8 on the Steam Deck.

Is Tekken 8 available on Steam Deck? 

Yes, Tekken 8 is playable on the Steam Deck but it doesn’t have a Deck Verified badge as of yet. The badge acts as a sort of assurance that the game will run smoothly on the device.

Despite the badge’s absence, Tekken 8 performs well on the Steam Deck. You might have to tweak the visual settings a little but performance should be solid.

Tekken games have a decent bit of history on portable handhelds as both Tekken: Dark Ressurection and Tekken 6 were available on the PSP. Tekken 8 looks set to resume the trend through its compatibility with the Steam Deck.
