About

Streets of Rage Remake (SoRR) v5.2 is a fan game by Bomber Games that recreates the original Streets of Rage trilogy in a single unified engine with fully original fan-made assets. It features 19 playable characters, multiple game modes (story, Survival, Boss Rush, Events, Volleyball), and 2-player local co-op, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest fan projects ever made. The v5 release dates to 2011, with v5.2 released in November 2020. Completely standalone — all assets are original fan creations, no Sega files required. This is a separate project from Streets of Rage X and the official Streets of Rage 4.

⚙ Setup notes

Add SorR.exe as a non-Steam game and run with Proton/GE-Proton. XInput controls are enabled by default in v5.2, so Xbox-style pads work without extra setup; if a controller isn't detected, use Steam Input. Supports 2-player local co-op. 16:9 widescreen support. All assets are original fan-made work; no Sega ROM files required. This is a different project from Streets of Rage X and the official Streets of Rage 4.

The one thing to know

Free standalone fan game — not on Steam, so add SorR.exe as a non-Steam game (no real ProtonDB page; tier unknown). All assets are fan-made originals, no Sega files needed. DIFFERENT from Streets of Rage X (separate project, already in list) and from the official Streets of Rage 4. 19 characters, 2-player local co-op. XInput on by default for Xbox-style pads; fall back to Steam Input if a pad isn't detected.

Get the artwork

deckport never hosts game images. Open this game on SteamGridDB, pick the cover / hero / logo / icon you like, and drop them into the game folder under .deckport-art/ before you push it to the Deck. The importer files them under the right names automatically.

Run it on your Deck

Two files: the one-time importer (deckport.py) in your Deck's home folder, and this game's install helper. Copy the game into ~/Games and run the helper with Steam closed — it writes the recipe (binary, launch options, Proton version) and registers the shortcut with artwork.
