Over the Hill system requirements and Steam Deck status

GODEEPER: For a separate PC-spec example, the Valor Mortis system requirements guide distinguishes published minimums from the hardware details a store leaves unspecified.

Over the Hill system requirements on Steam

Steam lists these Windows minimums and says the specs were tested at FullHD resolution.

These are minimum requirements, not a frame-rate or graphics-preset promise. Steam's Windows Recommended block only repeats that a 64-bit processor and operating system are required. It does not name a higher CPU, RAM amount, graphics card, or storage target. The older release and platform overview recorded the Windows list before launch; this page adds the live Deck label and Linux caveat.

What does Over the Hill steam deck status mean?

The Steam store page displays Steam Deck Compatibility: Unknown. Valve defines Unknown as a game it has not checked for compatibility. It is not a positive rating, a “Playable” result, or a declaration that the game is unsupported.

The label therefore does not establish whether the released build has legible text, controller prompts, a working launcher, or stable performance on Deck. Valve's compatibility guide describes the categories and checks. This guide does not benchmark the retail Deck build or publish settings. Our Moonlighter 2 Steam Deck guide covers a different game and should not be read as a performance comparison.

Does Steam list Linux support?

Yes: the current store page shows a SteamOS + Linux requirements group. It repeats the Windows CPU, 8 GB RAM, GPU, broadband, and 4 GB storage entries, but does not show an operating-system line or DirectX requirement.

Funselektor's pinned developer FAQ says a native Linux version is not planned and describes running the game through Proton on Steam Deck as the team's goal. The developer's answer and Steam's current platform listing are in tension. The listing alone does not confirm that a native Linux executable ships, so check both statements rather than treating the SteamOS + Linux block as proof of a native build.

How to use these requirements

For Windows, compare your processor and graphics card with the named minimums, then check for 8 GB RAM, DirectX 11, broadband, and 4 GB available space. Steam does not publish a higher Windows recommended spec, a frame-rate target, or graphics presets here. Its FullHD note gives a test resolution, not a promise about how the game will run on every qualifying PC.

If you are choosing a Linux desktop, the store's Linux group and Funselektor's FAQ do not line up. If you are choosing a handheld, Unknown is simply not a compatibility review. Our release-date article covers the platform timeline, and the official trailer breakdown separates footage from claims that require a written source.

GODEEPER: For online play details, see the Over the Hill co-op guide. Steam's broadband entry is the only network requirement listed here; it does not state a speed threshold.

How we checked
