– Patch Notes
This new update is great news for Steam Deck owners. The game was already Steam Deck Verified, but this update should further boost game performance. These changes may also result in performance gains for other PC gaming handhelds. After all, ASUS’ ROG Xbox Ally uses hardware that’s very similar to Valve’s Steam Deck.
At launch, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach ran well on PC (see our review here). Now, after several updates, the game runs better than ever on PC, especially on handheld gaming devices.
