Getting Started

Requirements and initial setup.

P4G CEP for Steam Deck is experimental and subject to breaking at times. The most stable P4G CEP setup will always be on Windows until Linux-native tools release.

These instructions are a work in progress; please share feedback on the issue tracker!

Setup and use of P4G CEP for Steam Deck is more complex and involved than on Windows.

Before starting, you should have a basic understanding of the KDE Plasma (Desktop Mode) environment and how to use the Dolphin file manager.

Make sure to read all the directions carefully before doing something you don't understand.

Requirements

  • A Steam Deck running the latest version of the SteamOS software

  • An unmodified installation of Persona 4 Golden from Steam

    • Only English text language is supported

    • Both English and Japanese voices are supported

  • A connected keyboard and mouse (wired or wireless)

  • At least 4 GB of free space on your Steam Deck's internal storage

    • If P4G is installed on the microSD card, at least 2 GB of free space there as well

An external display connected via a USB-C hub is highly recommended.

Installing P4G to the Steam Deck's internal storage is recommended.

We do not provide support for pirated copies of the game.

What if I'm using another Linux distro on my Steam Deck (e.g. Bazzite)? What about desktop Linux?

This guide only covers setup on SteamOS for the Steam Deck.

If you would like to set up P4G mods on a different OS or hardware, we suggest following the Beginner's Guide to Modding P4G for Steam Deck / Linux which covers additional setups.
