I’m really surprised to see Baldurs Gate 3 so high, as I’ve heard it doesn’t run too well on Deck.

I’ve been playing it nonstop on my pc, but don’t want to spend time downloading it on the Deck if it doesn’t run well and devours my battery. Is it better than I’ve been hearing?

I play it pretty much exclusively on my Deck and haven’t run into any performance issues that have bothered me. Patch 2 made things noticeably smoother so I expect it to get even better over time. I haven’t hit act 3 yet though and that seems to be where most people have problems in general.

Turning off FSR is a must if you don’t want a blurry mess.
