Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

Diablo 4 has been a blast and runs great on the Deck! Battery life isn’t all that great but it’s also a non-issue mostly as you need an active Internet connection to play anyway. So it’s not like I’d be playing on the go.

Do you mind sharing recommended settings for the Deck? I have trouble with making it run decently.

I get a solid 45-50 fps in most areas and I set most things to high. Only a few select things like fog and shadow quality I set to low. It ran fine even out of the box. I would recommend using AMD FSR 2 in quality mode (from the in-game menu, not the SteamDeck internal FSR) for a somewhat more stable experience. Mind you I am pretty early on in the game (level 15), so maybe late-game performance is worse.
