Baldur’s Gate 3 on Steam Deck is ‘absolutely wild’ and aims for 30FPS on Medium – Beragampengetahuan

Well this is certainly exciting! Ahead of the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, which is going to easily be one of the biggest releases this year, the Director of Publishing at Larian Studios teased playing it on Steam Deck on Twitter (uh, sorry on “X”).

Michael Douse (Director of Publishing) said on in a post on X “Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 on Steam Deck is absolutely wild. The quality of models etc really holds up in cinematics. Can’t wait for you to try it” and in a follow-up reply to another user about performance Douse mentioned “We’re aiming for solid 30 on around medium, but optimisation is ongoing. Worth remembering we have cross-save between PC and PS5 ;)”.

The good news is that it will also have full controller support at launch as well. However, no split-screen co-op on Steam Deck as that was disabled. While you could hook it up to a bigger screen with a Docking Station, presumably this was done due to the lower power of the Deck.

Will you be picking it up? I’ve yet to hear back about a review key but I’m hoping to give it a run and see just how well it works on Steam Deck and desktop Linux.

You can pre-order it on GOG and Steam. It releases August 3rd.
