Adding on to this, how about for steam deck? I see that it's been Deck verified but I have a lot of games in my library that are supposedly Deck verified but are unplayable (Horizon Zero Dawn and Remnant 2 stand out in memory).

I could just install it and try for myself, and likely will, but before I commit to a 100+gb download I'd love to hear if anyone else has tried.

Sven said in an interview they will try to get Steam Deck verification at launch or otherwise soon after

The ProtonBD website should give you some info.

I saw this in an article about the Xbox-s that mentioned the Steam Deck

Larian Studios head of publishing Michael Douse said that playing it on the handheld(Steam Deck) is "absolutely wild" and that, while it won't be verified on launch, the team is actively working towards it. This is a unique approach. Rather than developing for each console simultaneously, Larian Studios is rolling out Baldur's Gate 3 when it's ready for each. First, it'll arrive on PC, then PS5, and then Xbox or the Steam Deck--whichever comes first. While the wait might be longer, it saves the game from being delayed across the board.
