Dying Light: The Beast becomes Steam Deck Verified ahead of launch

Dying Light: The Beast becomes playable on the go thanks to Valve’s Steam Deck verifications

Valve has officially marked Dying Light: The Beast as Steam Deck verified, confirming that the game “performs well on Steam Deck” with its default graphics configuration. That’s great news for all PC gamers, as that means that the game should run well on most modern gaming PCs. After all, Valve’s Steam Deck isn’t exactly a high-end gaming system.

Dying Light: The Beast will become available later today on PC and consoles. The game’s minimum system requirements aren’t much higher than Dying Light 2, with the game’s minimum GPU moving up from an Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti to an GTX 1060. Nvidia’s RTX 1060 is a mid-range GPU released in 2016. With this in mind, most modern gaming PCs should be able to run this game with relative ease. However, we can expect this game’s highest graphical settings to be demanding given the game’s use of ray tracing.

In The Beast, players will control Kyle Crane, the protagonist of the original Dying Light. Having survived years of experimentation, Kyle has a mix of human and zombie DNA. Because of this, he has to struggle against his “inner beast” and battle to get revenge on those who experimented on him.

Like prior games in the series, The Beast features parkour elements and gameplay that evolve throughout the game’s day/night cycle. The most dangerous zombies only come out at night, turning the tables on players who stay out after dark.

In The Beast, players aren’t confined to a city landscape. While there will be plenty of roof-running, there will also be open areas with drivable vehicles. If you want some off-road zombie ploughing experience, this game has you covered.

Online, The Beast will be playable with up to four players in co-op. This will enable players to experience the game’s story together and employ unique strategies to overcome larger foes.
