How to play it

  1. Install Steam from your Linux app store and sign in. Your library is already there.
  2. In Steam's settings, under Compatibility, switch on "Enable Steam Play for all other titles". That turns on Proton for every Windows game. You only do this once.
  3. Install Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition and press Play.

Valve marks this game unsupported on the Steam Deck. That rating is about the handheld, and can be down to its screen, controls or power, so it does not by itself mean the game fails on a desktop PC. Check the recent ProtonDB reports before buying.
