Beyond Galaxyland is now Steam Deck verified

As a seasoned gamer who’s been navigating the cosmos since the days of C64, I can confidently say that the recent update for Beyond Galaxyland on Steam has me more excited than a kid on Christmas morning with a new spaceship under the tree! The game was already a joy to play on various platforms, but now, with its Steam Deck Verification and the slew of fixes, it’s like strapping on a brand-new rocket pack.


The Steam edition of Beyond Galaxyland has received a fresh update, making it officially compatible with deck-style handheld gaming devices, which should delight fans of portable gaming!

Developer Sam Enright posted the update to Steam, saying: “We’ve got exciting news to share! Beyond Galaxyland has officially been Steam Deck Verified, and we’ve just rolled out a new patch to improve the gameplay experience. Whether you’re exploring on your Steam Deck at home, or enjoying the game elsewhere, these updates are designed to enhance your adventure”

According to Enright, not only have we verified the Steam Deck, but we’ve also issued an update to rectify certain keys and improve overall gameplay, particularly for PlayStation DualShock and DualSense controllers. This is all aimed at making your gaming experience even better.

Here’s the fixes:

  • Fixed Rocket Launcher not carrying over to NG+.
  • Fixed characters falling out of bounds when using the Arcos lift to the surface.
  • Fixed PlayStation controller not being supported.
  • Changed the layout of the Arcadia Cliffside East platforming section.
  • Fixed Crafting 101 not updating properly when collecting Rope.
  • Adjusted the duration of Slow and Haste status effects.
  • Changed the ‘X’ icon when using a PlayStation controller.
  • Fixed the ribbon being cut off when saving to another slot on Steam Deck.
  • Added 2 new options in Gameplay: Flash Reduction and Ignore Rumble.

Concerning the recent update to Deck Verification, Enright stated: “We’re excited to share that Beyond Galaxyland has been fully approved as a Steam Deck Verified game! We addressed a minor user interface problem, and now the title can provide you with an enjoyable and hassle-free gaming experience on your Steam Deck. The controls are responsive, and performance is excellent, ensuring that Beyond Galaxyland runs smoothly whether you’re at home or on the move.

Before the update, I gave the whole Deck a spin even before it got verified, and boy, it was quite impressive! Now, considering how good it was then, this update should make it even smoother. The small UI glitch you mentioned was indeed minor, but it’s great to see that it has been addressed in the latest version.

“Beyond Galaxyland offers thrilling combat and a captivating plot. I found myself equally enthralled by the developing relationships as I was by the broader storyline involving DreamCore, Malefactor, and other significant aspects of the narrative. However, what I adored most about it were its characters. They’re relatable, likable, and you can’t help but cheer them on. If you haven’t been following this and are a fan of classic sci-fi and turn-based RPGs from days gone by, this is definitely a game you should consider playing.

The game “Beyond Galaxyland” is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and Nintendo Switch.
