Over the Hill system requirements and Steam Deck status

Updated 2026-10-29: Valve has reviewed the game and rates it Steam Deck Verified, passing all four of its checks. This page said "Unknown" from launch until today.

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 Deck rating and Linux caveat.

Is Over the Hill Steam Deck Verified?

Yes. Valve's compatibility report for app 2929250 returns the Verified category, checked October 29, 2026, and lists four passed tests: the default controller configuration is fully functional, on-screen glyphs match the Deck's buttons, interface text is legible, and the default configuration is performant. Valve's compatibility guide explains what the green Verified badge covers. At launch on October 14 the store said Unknown, which only meant Valve had not tested it yet.

Verified is Valve's test, not ours. We have not run the retail game on a Deck, so this page has no frame rate or settings to give you. It is the best result a game can get, though, and it matches what Funselektor's FAQ named as the team's goal: Steam Deck through Proton. 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, Steam Deck is the safe pick: Valve rates it Verified. 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 much space does Over the Hill need?

Yes, since Valve's review: its compatibility report rated it Verified when we checked on October 29, 2026. At launch the label was Unknown.

How we checked

We checked Steam's released listing, both requirement groups, Valve's Deck definitions, and Funselektor's FAQ on October 14, 2026, and re-checked Valve's Deck compatibility report on October 29, 2026. We did not benchmark the retail game on PC or Steam Deck. The Steam Linux listing and developer statement remain in tension.
