I love the whole concept behind Contraband Police. You are a border inspector and have to enforce the rules of the communist country you are helping to protect. This includes stopping smuggling, corruption, forgery, and getting into shootouts in this open world to explore. It's an awesome concept and looks like an enjoyable game, and it should be great to play on the Steam Deck thanks to the latest update.

While the new update doesn't include specific Steam Deck fixes, there are certain elements that may have helped get it the Verified badge. Improving font readability would probably be the biggest help on the Steam Deck, which will make it easier to read all the text that is on screen.
The other improvements may not help directly on the Deck, but they do help playability in general. This includes a new magnifying glass system to zoom into documents, using the handbook is much clearer than before, NPCs are no longer missing in certain locations, and vehicle color clarity has been improved to make each vehicle more distinct.
You can check out the full changelog for the update via their Steam Community Post.

Contraband Police is $29.99 on Steam.

Yeah I tried to play it as soon as the steamdeck update came out. On my oled steamdeck it's a complete blurry mess. Can't read the menu, can't read the settings. Shame cause I have been waiting to play it for a long time.
