Armored Core 6 will be fully supported on Steam Deck according to the devs

The Steam Deck has been out for about a year at this point and it’s growing in popularity as we speak. FromSoftware is very much in favor of it and Elden Ring is enjoying huge popularity on the portable PC platform. Having this in mind, the announcement that Armored Core 6 will also be Steam Deck-compatible is hardly surprising.

Destructoid did an interview with the game director Masaru Yamamura and producer Yasunori Ogura. During the interview, they were specifically asked about the prospect of Armored Core VI on the Steam Deck, and here’s what Ogura had to say:

“Obviously, seeing how Elden Ring performed on Steam Deck, we’re very happy, and we wanted to at least create that as a baseline going forward for this handheld. So it is fully supported for Steam Deck. Nothing, in particular, this time we’ve done differently, just want to reassure players that it will be fully supported.”

This is the first Armored Core game to get an official PC launch. Armored Core VI will, thus, be available on PlayStation and Xbox as well as PC starting from August 25.

“We do all of our development on PC, first and foremost. So of course, we wanted to optimize it to that experience. And just being a modern FromSoftware game on modern hardware, we wanted to try and at least meet that bar, and deliver a good experience to our PC players. So we tried to incorporate our knowledge over the last several years of game dev, and try to correct, and try to optimize as best we can for the PC audience.”

Armored Core VI is coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and PC on August 25.
