Funny, I've never played Palworld on any platform other than Proton.

Although you are correct (I think), with verified status you can actually open a ticket in case something does not work with proton. Usually the verified status is good for this use case. I do not know if games that are not verified can actually get support inside steam for proton (I doubt it).

Tem Tem is way closer to being a proper Pokemon game and has been on Steam for years.

Valve and Pocketpair are really making it comfortable for Nintendo fans to switch to pc gaming.

Great news!

Can anyone confirm if you can aim pal spheres with gyro? I've not played it on deck yet.

Didn't that remove Pal spheres because of the Pokemon lawsuit?

Grass@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y

if it doesnt you should be able to map the button to aim the ball to also enable gyro
