– Death Stranding 2 – Patch Notes 1.3
With Patch 1.3, Death Stranding 2 is officially ready for Steam Deck and other PC handhelds. Update 1.2 already delivered major performance improvements on these platforms, but patch 1.3 is the update that has delivered Steam Deck Verified status. Now, users of Valve’s handheld have the promise of a strong gaming experience, despite the low-power nature of mobile gaming hardware. This verification should also come as good news for users of the ROG Xbox Ally and other Windows PC handhelds. After all, most PC gaming handhelds suffer from similar performance limitations.
