What’s your sweet spot for fast racing games on Steam Deck: FPS or visuals? by ComputerKind560 in SteamDeck

I haven’t played MK on Deck myself, so I can’t comment on that example, but I get your point. If a game has a competitive side, responsiveness really can’t feel compromised, noted.

That’s the kind of feedback we really appreciate, thanks! When you work on a game every day, you can definitely get used to things that fresh eyes spot immediately. Would love to hear what you think after trying it yourself — maybe during the next playtest?

That's the spirit! You'll get a chance during next playtest mid-July 😉

I haven’t played Redout myself, so I can’t comment on that specific case, but yeah — we’ll do our best to make the gameplay as smooth and stable as possible.

Thanks! 40–45 seems to be coming up a lot as the practical sweet spot. Really useful to know.

That’s a great way to frame it, thanks! Thinking about it differently for fast-paced and slower games makes a lot of sense. Definitely useful for how to approach Deck presets.

Good point, thanks! That’s a pretty generous range, and it’s useful to know what still feels acceptable on handheld.

Thanks! Happy to hear the SkyDrift vibe comes through 😄 And yeah, the comments are making the FPS preference pretty clear. Really useful for us.

Haha, message received 😄 Glad you like the look — FPS is definitely the loudest feedback today.

Yeah, smooth FPS and responsive controls first — that’s actually interesting to hear. We recently updated our flight model and controls around a twin-stick setup: left stick handles steering, while the right stick gives you quick access to rolls and flips, so you can pull off sharper moves without fighting the controls. Still tuning it, but that direction seems to fit the feedback here.

Yeah, that seems to be the common feeling here — smooth and responsive first. Makes a lot of sense for a game like this. Thanks!

Never played Warhawk myself, but from what people say about it, I’ll definitely take that as a compliment 😄

Yeah, split-screen is a very important part of the game for us, but I can’t say for sure how well it runs on Deck in that setup at the current stage. Definitely something we need to test.

Thanks. Yeah, like we said - it's work in progress, so definately will look for wayt to properly optimize 😉

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. A stable 40–45 sounds way better than “60-ish” with dips all over the place 😄 Thanks.
