That's not good. The Deck is struggling.

Too demanding of a game that is only one game no problem. fsr 3 mod will be there

There are a lot of games that are like this.

God of War Ragnarok gets PC release date, but Steam Deck compatibility is still uncertain

God of War Ragnarok gets an official release date on the Steam Store, but Steam Deck fans are left uncertain about its fate on the handheld.

It will be listed as "playable".

Michiel19895d ago

I don't see it running any good on the steamdeck but maybe if they introduce enough options to lower the settings it might run semi decent.

Amplitude5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Its literally a PS4 game, and likely will be able to lower settings even lower than that.

Assume low and medium settings, FSR2 Quality mode 720p, and an unstable 45fps or a stable 40fps like any other PS4 era port (Uncharted 4 for example). It'll be fine on the Deck if it's your only option

anast5d ago

Same, it won't be "Deck verified" for sure.

Amplitude beat me to it. I'd like to add that games like returnal and ratchet and clank rift apart run on the deck and those are actual ps5 games.

It should sense the games were made for hardware 12 years ago

Do not forget your precious god of war was made for the ps4 console first a console wayyy weaker than the steamdeck.

Most games listed as playable are only that way due to needing to use the on-screen keyboard or some adjacent thing.

GoW will be playable on the lowest setting possible, but it wont look good.

just_looken4d ago

I bet you it might be down to the stupid psn crap were it needs the server handshake or some bs for the trophies to work.

It depends on your definition of good I guess. I use my Steam deck to play my games natively when I'm away from my PC so admittedly when I'm on the deck fidelity doesn't matter as much to me.
