Many titles within the cozy genre wind up playing better—far more fun—on a controller or handheld device, like the Steam Deck. Take, for example, Stardew Valley, which I cannot play without a controller these days. Well, Fields of Mistria is in a similar boat. It’s a cozy farming sim with a simple UI that begs for controller support. But more importantly, how about Steam Deck support for Fields of Mistria?
Is Fields of Mistria Steam Deck Compatible?
You’ll be ecstatic to learn that Fields of Mistria is fully compatible and verified on Steam Deck, with green checks across the board for:
- Functionality
- Controller icons
- In-game interface text
- Default graphics configurations and performance
I spent some time playing the farming sim on Steam Deck, and overall, due to its simplified graphics and aesthetic, it performs exceptionally well without having to lower or alter any of the game’s settings. It also doesn’t eat up battery, meaning you can play comfortably for a few hours without fear.
