Redfall can be played on the Steam Deck, with the correct settings

After almost four hours, I’m not entirely convinced that red drop It’s a good game, unless there’s a lot of hidden depth, it feels like a rare Arkane glitch.

But unlike that other recent big release, Star Wars Jedi: Survivoryou can make it playable on the Steam Deck with a few simple tweaks.

I’m not saying that it will be seen good, but it’s much better than the default setting!

So what is the magic solution? Well, the game seems to default to a medium spec of 800p on the platform, and with a form of AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR 2.1 quality) which doesn’t seem to be working on the platform at the moment.

Instead, I run the game at 1280 x 720p, low spec, with FSR 2.1 Ultra Performance, and while it might make the game look a bit jerky in motion, at least it’s now playable!

Here are the settings I used:

Before you start playing the game, I recommend one more setting: Open the platform’s quick settings menu, and under Performance, set your Refresh Rate to 40 Hz and Frame Limiter to 40 fps. That should improve both battery life and responsiveness – you might notice my setup draws more power, but I immediately saw a drop in wattage after I locked the refresh rate and FPS to 40 each.

Until or unless Bethesda and AMD issue some fixes, that’s my recommendation for red drop on deck.
