Eugen made an official statement celebrating the game's return on its Steam page:
Eugen also confirmed that the game is Steam Deck compatible. Anyone who owned R.U.S.E. before its delisting will not only retain "full access" to the game, but also receive all future updates and DLCs at no additional cost.
