- Resolution: 1280×720 and 1920×1080 on Steam Deck. You will see the black borders above and below the play area. Most users have reported the best results with 720p resolution.
- FPS: 30,60, and 120 are available for the Steam Deck. Users have reported significant issues at 120 FPS and minor shader stutter issues at 60 fps.
