Steam Deck Verified: Valve's compatibility report passes all four checks, and the game runs there in Non-VR mode. You play with the Deck's controls in the flat-screen first-person mode; VR needs a Windows PC.
What players are reporting on performance
Performance is the most discussed topic on the Steam forum in launch week, and results vary a lot by setup. These are individual reports, not benchmarks:
- One VR player on very high settings saw about 64 FPS and the same figure on low, which points to a CPU or engine limit rather than the GPU.
- A Non-VR player with an RTX 5080 and Ryzen 7 9800X3D reported 300+ FPS at 1440p, dipping to 140-190 FPS when enemies spawn in missions.
- An RX 7900 GRE owner reported about 35 FPS on the first map and refunded.
- Reviewers found recording with OBS or Steam's recorder cuts the frame rate noticeably in VR.
There is no DLSS or FSR at launch. The settings that help most, and the fixes for blur and input lag, are in the settings and performance guide.
