I bet it’s good on Steam Deck
Previously it’s only been available as a download from its own website, but now Wizards say it’ll come to Steam on May 23rd.
From itsSteam page, it doesn’t sound as if it’s getting any particular features for its Steam release. It remains a trading card game that includes a tutorial, 15 unlockable decks, different game modes including Draft and Brawl, and cosmetics, card sleeves and pets to be attained via daily rewards.
While an already released free-to-play game coming to Steam might not be the most exciting news, there is one obvious advantage: it should mean that Arena is playable on Steam Deck. It’s too early to know whether it’ll be given Verified status, but Arena is already available as a touchscreen iOS and Android screen, which is a good sign that its UI and controls are adaptable to Steam Deck’s handheld format.
I’ve not played Arena, or any Magic: The Gathering, but maybe I’ll give it a go. It’s on our list of thebest digital board games on PCand our sister site Dicebreakermake the latest sets sound interesting.
