    The performance is also very good on the Deck, with stable 60FPS in indoor scenes and playable sub-60 in large outdoor areas.

    Wow, really? The game has a 1070 Ti minimum requirement, I barely expected this to work on Deck

      Minimum requirements are always useless.

      The Steam Deck is an extremely low resolution which is why anything works.

      I wouldn’t take their word. Everything I’ve seen about Deck performance is it runs at a fluctuating 30fps in basic scenes but drops massively in cities etc, on lowest settings with FSR on.

      I played a few more hours today in handheld (yesterday was on power and connected to an HDMI display).

      I did notice worse performance, but that could also be because the content was different. The game is still fully playable, and I had fun murdering a bunch of pirates in an abandoned fracking station. New Atlantis (the first big hub city) ran like dogshit though. It struggled to maintain 30 and was blurry as hell, but yesterday it ran better. Idk, this isn’t scientific at all.

      Just adding this extra info in case someone sees my first comment and thinks the game will run perfectly. Playable? Very much so. Recommended? Only if you can’t play on something more powerful.

        Some people in this thread are apparently streaming it to their Deck from their PC. If you’re set on playing it on a Deck, that might be an option.
