I didn’t change anything else in the display or graphics options. I also set FSR 2 to performance and tried a few sharpness settings.

For graphics, I used a custom preset that was mostly the low preset with a few changes like model level, texture filtering, and reflections set to standard. I set it to 800p, capped at 30fps in-game, with v-sync on. I played Forspoken with Proton Experimental over the last week on Steam Deck.

The game is very demanding despite it not looking amazing given the requirements. Forspoken PC requirementsįorspoken’s PC requirements are quite high.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see it move to the “Playable” rating very soon.

Note that the game is listed by Valve as “Unsupported” when it comes to Steam Deck Compatibility as of this writing. While the game has booted up since the start on Steam Deck, a recent update to Proton Experimental and some experimentation with the settings have resulted in a decent experience for Forspoken on the go. I was very curious to see how it would run, if at all. I did play a bit on my laptop, but this Forspoken Steam Deck review will focus on how Luminous Productions’ newest plays on Valve’s portable system.įorspoken was shown off on Steam Deck at TGS, and Square Enix has showcased it on the system as recently as last week. I’ve been slowly making progress and testing the game across different graphics options and replaying a few areas to see how Forspoken scales on Steam Deck. As one of Square Enix’s first built for current generation games, I was curious to see how it would run on Steam Deck given its hefty PC requirements, and with how rough the game could look on PS5 in parts. Square Enix and Luminous Productions’ Forspoken has been an interesting game to follow from a tech perspective.
