As you may know, some titles in the gaming world may not run at the same quality on every platform, and Marvel Rivals was one of the games that did not fully meet the expectations of Steam Deck users. Although the game works -technically- on the console, the problems experienced in terms of fluency have already frustrated the players. Here are the details and what you need to know…
Marvel Rivals not optimised for Steam Deck?
Marvel Rivals has been plagued by FPS drops, graphical degradation, and response time lags on Steam Deck. The game’s lack of optimisation is causing performance issues even on low settings. Stuttering, especially in fast-paced scenes, negatively affects the competitive nature of the game.
Although some players have sought a solution by lowering the graphics settings, the solution does not work completely. The lack of a stable gaming experience on Steam Deck has caused many players to quit the game.
There are different opinions about this issue in the Steam Deck community. While some players think it’s important that such a large-scale game even runs on a portable device, users who are sensitive to performance claim that Marvel Rivals cannot be played on the console at all.
The makers of Marvel Rivals have not yet made an official statement that they are working on an update for Steam Deck optimisation. However, Rivals fans expect the game to receive a performance patch in the near future.
