Is it playable or there is any plan to support it on steam deck?

Yep, its playable on steam deck. There is some controller mappings available out there if you google it. Runs pretty well from what I've seen (friend has one.) There is a bunch of reddit articles on control setups as well

Some things to be aware of:

 

-Use, "-provider Portal" in your GW2 launch options to use an existing Anet account.

 

-Buy gems/expansions through whichever account you normally use. Steam doesn't mix with Anet.

 

-It tends to crash most often when using the TP, or selecting waypoints. Fairly stable.

 

-Get a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard if you plan on raiding. It's the only mode I find myself wanting more binding options.

 

Enjoy playing GW2 in bed, while pooping, and on lunch breaks! ❤

Works pretty neat, play on one myself while i am not on my rig. But you certainly need to get used to it. So,  if you buy one, i recommend to start with easy content and an easy class. The steam deck also has 4 buttons ob the back, so if you map your skills clever, you can trigger all of them while having your tumbs on both sticks. This was the biggest thing for me to get used to, because it differs so much from usual controller mappings, but the precision/mobility gain is rad imo. Especially on aoe skills that need to be placed. Totally worth.
