Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Steam Deck support has arrived, letting players swing through New York City on the go. However, initial reactions are mixed, with performance issues reported by some players.
While the Steam Deck compatibility is exciting, many users have experienced frame rate drops and graphical glitches, particularly in crowded areas or during intense combat. Insomniac Games acknowledges these issues and is actively developing patches to improve performance.
Despite the performance hiccups, many praise the game's visual fidelity and smooth control integration on the Steam Deck. The high-resolution screen and responsive buttons deliver an immersive experience, mirroring the PC version. However, the inconsistent frame rate remains a concern for those seeking uninterrupted gameplay.
Valve suggests adjusting graphical settings to optimize performance. Lowering texture quality or disabling certain effects can significantly improve frame rate stability, especially during demanding scenes.
Future updates promise a smoother Steam Deck experience for Marvel's Spider-Man 2. While current performance limitations exist, the ability to play such a visually impressive game portably is a noteworthy accomplishment. Potential buyers should consider these current limitations and the promise of future improvements before purchasing.
