What to verify before playing
The Steam release includes Windows, macOS, Linux, and Steam Deck. Its Linux minimum names Ubuntu 18.04 or later or SteamOS, a dual-core 2.0 GHz-equivalent processor, 4 GB RAM, OpenGL 3.3+ compatible graphics, and 2 GB of available storage.
Steam Deck optimisation is listed separately, so check the live product information and compare your installed environment with every published minimum before relying on the device.
The Steam build includes offline play, preloaded assets for faster launches and less jitter on older hardware or far from the servers, and same-account cross-play with the browser version.
The listed editions are OpenFront for $4.99, with one free month of Warlord, unique cosmetics, and a verified name, and OpenFront Masters for $9.99, with one free month of Sovereign and otherwise unavailable cosmetics.
On the first launch, test the controller path through the controls you plan to use, confirm the interface is readable at your chosen display scale, and join an online match on the current network before relying on the Deck for competitive play. Use that first-launch check to judge your own setup because the published information lists Steam Deck and names optimisation separately.
