Why BeamNG.drive is rated “Should work”

Valve rates BeamNG.drive “Playable” on Steam Deck, which usually means it runs, but may need some tweaks. That is the main reason it is rated “Should work” here.

It uses DirectX 11, which Sommelier translates to Metal with its own graphics layer. That works on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

No anti-cheat is listed for the game, so nothing of that kind is known to block it.
