The short answer is yes, you can. However, it is currently boasting an “unknown” status regarding Steam Deck compatibility. This means that you may run into a host of issues while trying to play the game on your Steam Deck. 

For the most part, the game runs well on Steam Deck, but you may run into performance issues with frame drops, menus glitching out and not working, and your cursor disappearing. These reports come from users on Reddit who have tried playing the game on Steam Deck. 

Equally, while it can run okay for the most part, there are a lot of issues with Lords of the Fallen crashing and then no longer opening on the Steam Deck, no matter how updated your software is. It is entirely your choice whether you want to attempt to play the game but be prepared for bugs and crashes along the way.
