It looks like Sony's support of the Steam Deck is becoming more and more apparent, and I couldn't be happier! Returnal, the PS5 exclusive roguelike, has been long rumored to be coming to Steam, even with no announcement. And Steam Deck support seems confirmed!

Earlier this year though, a SteamDB listing for a game called "Oregon" showed up. While this wouldn't be an indicator of Returnal on name alone, there was an update to the package in May of this year which references the "Tower of Sisyphus", which is a game mode added to Returnal after release, as well as reference to the main setting of the game, Atropos.

Fast forward to yesterday, the "Oregon" package had an update that directly references the Steam Deck itself. This update added a Steam Controller Template Index and, right underneath it, mentions the Steam Deck Touch Screen:

While all of this is speculative completely, and there has been no official announcements, the updates point to this not only being a Returnal port, but will probably have Steam Deck support. This would be following Sony's trend with Horizon Zero Dawn, Day's Gone, and God of War (which all have verified status). Now if we can get some confirmation on Marvel's Spiderman, that would be quite nice.
