With that in mind, the game is likely to feature controller support when it releases on PC, as it is expected to be Steam Deck compatible.
I hope so.
It baffled me that Valve released a game that isn't really compatible with controllers not long after releasing the Deck. I was kinda hoping Deadlock would be very controller friendly. When/if this happens I'll give it a second look.
My apologies, when I said released I meant released for public testing / playing (ie, it's current state).
I've played a little with keyboard and mouse as well as a controller (using community settings) and currently it very much feels like it would be difficult to play with a controller (I'd like to stress I'm hoping and happy to be proven wrong about that further down the line).
My surprise was that Valve have brought about a game like Deadlock which currently (to me) feels very much like a keyboard and mouse only game. Again, looking forward to that potentially changing.
