It really doesn’t run well at all and you have to reduce the settings so much that it looks really bad. When I tried it I was barely hitting 30 fps on one of the first few difficulty levels. Unless they’ve drastically improved performance or people only play at low difficulty I personally wouldn’t recommend it.

It’s not so bad if you stream it from a pc but I assume most people want to play portably.

If I were on the fence before this thread, I’d probably be leaning a bit closer to the bear right now

I got Helldivers to work by making it open in windowed mode rather than full screen, then making it full screen once it opened. Seems to be a common issue with it. someone on protonDB mentioned it iirc.

What games are you playing that run at a stable 60 on a steam deck?

Rider has just been better in every way imo. I haven’t touched VS in years.

It does cost but you also get a permanent licence for the version you paid for so you can pay for a year and keep that version.
