Nighthawks Steam: Price, Deck Status & Requirements

Nighthawks (the vampire RPG from Richard Cobbett and Wadjet Eye Games) is a Steam release first and foremost, and the store page is where its price, features and handheld status are all documented. Here is the full Nighthawks Steam picture as of September 28, 2026, six days after the September 22 launch across Windows, macOS and Linux.

What the Steam Version Includes

The build on Steam is the complete game, not an early access version — the store page lists Steam Achievements (100 of them), Steam Trading Cards, Stats, Cloud saves and Family Sharing, along with partial controller support for Xbox and DUALSHOCK pads over USB. Language support is English only, with full audio for the whole cast. The store's Adult Content notice is narrow: strong language, adult situations and occasional non-explicit nudity, with no graphic sex or sexual violence — a detail that mattered during launch week, because Valve briefly rated the game Adults Only by mistake.

What the store page documents, in one list:

• 100 Steam Achievements, plus Trading Cards, Stats and Cloud saves.
• Family Sharing supported; Steam Cloud matters if you move a run between desktop and a handheld.
• Partial controller support: Xbox and DUALSHOCK controllers over USB.
• English only, with full audio — there is no localization list on the store page.
• Adult Content: strong language, adult situations, occasional non-explicit nudity; no graphic sex or sexual violence.

That mistaken rating is worth knowing about if you are reading store-page complaints: in mid-September 2026 Valve flagged Nighthawks Adults Only, which pulled it from Steam search and some regions, and after the studio pushed back the rating was reversed — the store page's own September 16 news post announced the game was "officially rated 'Not Porn' by Valve!" It launched on schedule, and Wadjet Eye said wishlists "essentially doubled overnight" during the episode.

Wadjet Eye's store-page news, September 16, 2026: the game was "officially rated 'Not Porn' by Valve!" — the Adults Only label applied to Nighthawks was a mistake, and it was reversed before the September 22 launch.

Is Nighthawks Playable on Steam Deck?

Yes — and it is now official. The Steam store page carries an official Steam Deck Compatibility rating of Playable as of September 28, 2026: the default controller config is fully functional on Deck, the controller glyphs match the device, default performance settings pass, and the only caution item is that interface text is not fully legible at default size — which is exactly what the game's smaller-text display mode exists for. That label formalizes what reviewers had already found: PC Gamer's 89/100 review listed the game as Playable on Deck, and GamesRadar made the handheld case its Game of the Week column.

How it behaves in the hand, per GamesRadar's testing:

• A display mode with smaller text sized specifically for handheld screens.
• Full touch screen support, which speeds up selecting points of interest.
• The joysticks scroll through text instead of dragging a cursor, and D-pad navigation feels just as intuitive.
• Steam Cloud saves, so a Deck run can be continued on desktop and back.
• Caveat: ProtonDB's page for app 1221950 carried sparse community reports in launch week, and SteamDB showed no verified rating at the time of writing (to confirm).

Price, Editions and Discounts

The Steam price is the baseline every other storefront is compared against, and the launch discount is date-stamped:

Item	Price / status
Nighthawks (base game, Steam)	$19.99 list; 10% launch discount to $17.99 confirmed through September 29, 2026.
Official Soundtrack DLC (Steam)	$2.69 — Thomas Regin's score as a separate purchase.
GOG (Deluxe Edition)	Same $19.99 base with the same 10% discount to $17.99, dated to end September 29, 2026, 20:00 EEST; the Deluxe Edition bundles the MP3 soundtrack.
Humble	Sold there with a free soundtrack included alongside the Steam key, per the official Wadjet Eye page (to confirm).

Steam's own pricing API confirms the $17.99 live discount, and GOG's listing independently stamps the expiry window, which is why the September 29 cutoff is reported here rather than an open-ended "launch discount."

Platforms and System Requirements

The official store page lists three desktop platforms, all shipping the same game:

Platform	Status at launch (September 22, 2026)
Windows 10 64-bit	Released — 2GHz processor, 8 GB RAM, DX10/DX11/DX12-capable GPU, 10 GB storage.
macOS 10.12.6 or later	Released — Apple Silicon supported, Metal-capable GPUs.
Linux (Ubuntu, Mint, Arch, Debian)	Released as native builds, not a compatibility layer.
Steam Deck	Official store rating: Playable (as of September 28, 2026), with the interface-text-legibility caveat.
Controllers	Partial support per the store page (Xbox, DUALSHOCK over USB); Deck test results mark the default config fully functional.
Language	English only, with full audio.

Where to Buy It

Nighthawks is not Steam-exclusive, so the choice comes down to what each storefront bundles:

• Steam — $17.99 during the launch discount; the only store with cloud saves, the Deck rating and the 100-achievement integration live.
• GOG — same discount window as Steam; the Deluxe Edition adds the MP3 soundtrack.
• Humble — the purchase includes a free soundtrack alongside the Steam key, per Wadjet Eye's own page (to confirm).
