Steam Deck Optimized Settings
We cannot recommend The Blood of Dawnwalker on the Steam Deck, despite the game being quite close to a stable 30 FPS experience at times. The issue is that frame times are too unstable and that the world features many locations where the frame rate drops to the mid or low-20s and stays there, no matter how low you go. If you can swallow such performance, well, you know the drill. Drop every setting to its lowest, set FSR or XeSS to Ultra Performance, and we also recommend dropping the resolution to 1280x720 because every extra frame counts.
Considering that the game will use up every bit of the Steam Deck's resources, you should expect to play it for about an hour and a half on a Steam Deck LCD and a little over two hours on the OLED version.
