It is listed with the following pros and cons:Pro – All functionality is accessible when using the default configurationPro – The game shows controller iconsPro – The game’s default graphics configuration works well on Steam DeckCon – Some in-game text is small and may be difficult to readAlso, per SteamDeckHQ in their glowing review, the game is a “joy to play on the Steam Deck,” and “It can run nicely at 60 FPS for the most part”. However, while it can run at 60FPS, SteamDeckHQ recommend “setting a 45 FPS limit” because “The battery drain is a bit on the high side at times,” and there are “minor drops” that happen “when turning around in crowded rooms and running through the house”.PC system requirementsBelow are the PC minimum and recommended system requirements listed on Steam:Minimum:Requires a 64-bit processor and operating systemOS: Windows 10/11, 64-bitsProcessor: i5-2300/Ryzen 3 1200Memory: 16 GB RAMGraphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060/AMD RX580DirectX: Version 11Storage: 6 GB available spaceRecommended:Requires a 64-bit processor and operating systemOS: Windows 10/11, 64-bitsProcessor: Intel Core i5 4690K / AMD Ryzen 5 1500xMemory: 16 GB RAMGraphics: NVidia GeForce 1080 GTX /AMD RX 5700DirectX: Version 11Storage: 6 GB available spaceIn other PS Plus news, a major day-one release from Max Payne developer is confirmed for summer.
