Yes, it is possible to play Last Epoch on Steam Deck. Last Epoch is available on PC through Steam, and according to players who have tested it on the Steam Deck it runs well—albeit with a few drawbacks.

Players have reported Last Epoch can reach 60 FPS with reduced graphics settings and a smaller 1152×768 resolution and run very smoothly, with some going so far as to say it’s their preferred way to play the ARPG. For those happy to drop to 30 or 45 FPS, you’ll be able to boost graphics settings or the resolution a touch.

However, a major drawback players have encountered is a severe lack of controller support. Most players who run Last Epoch on Steam Deck cannot currently use the Steam Deck’s controls in any menu, meaning you’ll need to keep a mouse nearby to help navigate. It is hoped better controller support will be available in the 1.0 update.
