How to Fish Steam Deck

How to Fish Steam Deck support is a 1.0.11 fact, not a launch-week one. Steam lists Windows only (Mac and Linux flags false at capture). Patch 1.0.11 states full Steam Deck Verified and GeForce NOW playability. Full controller support includes DualShock and DualSense; PlayStation glyphs were fixed in 1.0.8. The official FAQ says consoles and Mac are coming and does not know when. Minimum PC: Windows 10+ 64-bit, i5-5257U or Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1050 or RX 460, broadband, 1 GB storage.

Windows spec and languages

The store release date is 20 August 2026. Categories include single-player, multi-player, co-op, online co-op, Steam Achievements, full controller support, custom volume controls, save anytime, stereo sound, and Family Sharing. Localization covers English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese-Brazil, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Ukrainian.

Steam store names stay How to Fish except 渔力全开 (Simplified Chinese) and 낚시 방법 (Korean). This wiki’s language switcher uses those official names in the brand and keeps How to Fish everywhere else. Italian and German exist on Steam but are not part of this site’s 14-language set.

Deck and GeForce NOW

1.0.11 is the verification patch: Deck Verified, GeForce NOW, aim/sprint toggles, hold to attack, nametag toggle, save corruption checks and backups. Treat older “Windows only” sentences as pre-1.0.11. Deck verification does not add a Linux depot; the Steam platforms list still had linux false at capture.

Input toggles in that note are why a Deck session can aim and sprint without holding the sticks the whole fight. Hold to attack is the same patch. If a cloud session on GeForce NOW drops, 1.0.11’s save backups are the recovery path, not a second platform save cloud from Dazed.

Consoles and Mac

The official Dazed Games FAQ says How to Fish is coming to consoles and Mac and does not know when. That is the whole public schedule. Steam still lists mac false. There is no dated console SKU on the sealed board. Bug reports and suggestions go to Discord, not to a phantom console publisher page.

GamingOnLinux covered the Windows launch in the ecosystem notes; that is not a Linux build. If you need native Mac, the honest line is the FAQ: coming, no date. Until then the playable set is Windows Steam, Steam Deck Verified, and GeForce NOW as of 1.0.11.
