Engage in large scale Holdfast battles on the go with the official verification and release of Holdfast: Nations At War on the Steam Deck. From land to sea you'll now be able to partake in all that Holdfast goodness in powerful handheld format.


As part of our efforts to bring Holdfast into the new age, a portion of the team has been hard at work not only making Holdfast accessible for those who prefer to play with a controller but also gaining the verification and official support for the Steam Deck console.



Development with the Steam Deck was pleasantly straightforward and a lot of the game worked with little to no intervention. With a few touch ups and thanks to the Steam Deck's powerful hardware and brilliant design, it happily runs Holdfast and it's shenanigans with great graphical fidelity and at an impressive frame rate.

On The Horizon

Following up this Steam Deck release, next month will introduce the Battlefields Expanded update, the largest undertaking of map reworks we have done to date. Featuring improved gameplay designs, new environments and much more. Every single Nations At War map has been looked over and updated to our current standard.



But that's not all! Alongside the map reworks we will be bringing 8 entirely new public play battlefields that will be made available for both low and high population servers. These maps will compliment the queue system that'll also be featured within this update.



Quality of life improvements have also been on the forefront of this update and part of this will include easier ways to join squads created by officers. Get ready to rally the troops! One of these new ways will be a prompt on the officer itself allowing nearby players to simply interact with the officer to join their squad.



The above is just a taste of a plethora of new features and additions to the game, there's plenty more that'll be dropping with this update. Public testing is currently ongoing with an estimated release scheduled for next month once the testing phase has concluded.
