I have been a technology writer and editor for more than 20 years. I was assistant editor of The Sunday Times’ technology section, editor of PC Pro magazine and have written for more than a dozen different publications and websites over the years.
The life of a truck driver has never really appealed to me. It took me seven attempts to pass my driving test, for heaven’s sake, and that’s in a car, not a 12-wheel monster. But cruising down the open highways, delivering a load of roof tiles to a client in Belgium on my Steam Deck has become an unexpected, chilled gaming delight. And it only cost me $2.are both on sale for only $1.99 in the Steam sale. And they are near perfect for handheld gaming on the Steam Deck .
The tutorial is pretty sparse, so there’s some trial-and-error involved in finding the rest of the controls. I picked up a fine in France for driving without my headlights on, before I realized the lights were assigned to left on the D-pad for example. Equally, I could barely see through a battering rain storm before I clicked the wipers were right on the D-pad.
Yet, even without some of the advanced controls, I’ve gleefully racked up thousands of miles of trucking on the handheld.is 12 years old, you would think it should run fine on the Steam Deck—and it does. Even though the game graphics have been updated many times over that 12 years, the OLED version of the handheld copes fine.
The biggest challenge on the Steam Deck is the limited size of the screen. It’s easy to miss road signs, for example, meaning I picked up yet another fine for failing to spot a temporary speed limit while driving through Germany. Small menu text can also be a challenge. It’s a PC game, not a console title, so everything is designed for the large screen.
