Can you play Assassin’s Creed Shadows on the steam deck?

Unfortunately, Assassin’s Creed Shadows cannot be played on the steam deck at the launch. This was revealed in a Q&A that was sent to the game’s official site:
“At the launch, the game will not be compatible with Steam Deck due to the fact that it is under our minimum specifications to PC.” said Pierre F, Technology Director of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
