Steam Deck + Controller Support And Game Balancing Enhancements

Federal Reserve Simulator · published 16 Aug 2026, 15:21 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Steam Deck Support

  • Full controller navigation across every screen — menus, policy dashboard, historic mode, the Fedcyclopedia, all of it

  • Legibility pass for the Deck's 7" screen: minimum font sizes raised so every number and news blurb is readable

  • Device-aware button prompts — the game shows the right glyphs for your input device and switches instantly when you change devices

  • Bigger touch targets for rate and QE/QT controls, with a coarse $50B step so you're not tapping tiny arrows

Full Controller Support (Desktop Too)

Controller support isn't Deck-only — plug in a gamepad on desktop and the whole game is playable from the couch. Switch between keyboard/mouse and controller at any time; the game should follow seamlessly.

Desktop Improvements

  • The game now launches in borderless fullscreen instead of a maximized window

  • Ultrawide (21:9) fixes: the historic portrait gallery, briefing screens, and data modals now align correctly at every aspect ratio

  • Fixed a UI-scale trap where scales above 100% could push the top bar (and the settings menu!) off-screen with no way back

Balance

  • People noted the grading on the Warsh mode was too harsh. This should be better now.

  • Closed exploits around QE pumping and capitulation.

Bug Fixes & Polish

  • Two full audit passes fixing 20+ defects across save integrity, Steam stat syncing, game state, and UI

  • Game Over screen no longer gets covered by a late-arriving tweet popup

  • Chinese localization fixes, including a proper CJK font and re-localized news items

  • Sound polish: consistent click feedback on menu navigation

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback for our game. We are really happy with how this game turned out and continue to make it better with the help of our players!
