What games are you playing that run at a stable 60 on a steam deck?
Comment on No Rest For The Wicked will be playable on Steam Deck, although recommended PC specs may be a worry

20-40 FPS is not an enjoyable experience to 95% of gamers. I think in order for your game to be steam deck verified it should run at a stable 60fps. The deck isn’t even running at 1080p so if your game still can’t achieve 60 fps then it’s not a game for the steam deck.

I tweaked slime rancher 2 and both subnauticas to at least an average 50. It’s not pretty but it’s super doable, and the small screen gives a good amount of leeway before you even really notice shit like shadows being off entirely lmao

Are there really that many games running at 60? I swear i play most of mine at 30 on my deck and they look perfectly fine, smaller screen helps with a lot of that imo

I’ve played multiple games on the Deck at 30-40 and it’s absolutely ok. Dips to 20 happen too, they are pretty annoying, but what can you do?

I think a stable 30 is reasonable but I agree that 20-40 is not enjoyable. Honestly even a stable 20fps feels better then highs to lows

Most AAA console games run at 30fps (with a higher fps performance mode option), which would mean that at least 60%+ of gamers are used to 30fps. Also if you look at the top Deck games of last year, it’s filled with games like Baldur’s Gate and Starfield that get 30fps at best. So most Deck owners are fine with lower fps rates too.
I think getting 30fps on a handheld is perfectly fine for most people and most games.

Hell I usually limit games to 45 or 30 if they happen to run 50+ on the Deck. Not because I don’t notice a difference but because “what if I can’t charge my Deck for some reason?”.
