A Chinese user obtained a development kit for the Steam Deck and demonstrated how the retail versions of the portable PC could run some of today’s most popular games at 800p quality. According to their testing, the Steam Deck can run Cyberpunk 2077 at 20 to 30 frames per second in the High graphics setting, which is very remarkable for a handheld. Valve’s Steam Deck is also said to be capable of running Shadow of the Tomb Raider and DOOM Eternal at 60 frames per second at lower or custom settings.

User opinions about Cyberpunk 2077’s performance, as machine translated:

[…] We can clearly sense the freeze, and the number of frames varies between 20 and 30, but […] the image quality is quite pleasant. Even on the tiny 7-inch screen, we can see the reflection of the sea surface quite well in the game. You can play extremely smoothly if you set the image quality to medium or low.
