Death Stranding 2 now runs smoothly on Steam Deck

Death Stranding 2 has been updated recently, giving players’ experiences on the Steam Deck a huge increase in performance, making it significantly more enjoyable while playing on handheld devices.

Players had previously reported numerous issues, including inconsistent/unstable frame rates and poor overall performance, which prevented players from fully enjoying their experience on any type of portable device.

With the new update, many of those previous issues that affected the gameplay have now been addressed, so that Death Stranding 2 runs much smoother and consistently gives players an experience that is much closer to what was planned originally.

With the increase in popularity of handheld gaming, such as the Steam Deck, it is a strong testament to the potential of handheld devices and how proper optimization can massively increase the reach of a game.

This update for players that enjoy playing Death Stranding 2 allows for this title to be much more suitable for obtaining a portable gaming experience without having a major reduction in either performance or quality.

Overall, this patch is a strong example of the need for ongoing support after launch and having the ability to continue providing support by maintaining compatibility across many different types of hardware.
