Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Steam Deck support has arrived, letting players experience the web-slinging action on the go. However, initial reactions are mixed, with performance issues reported by some players.
While the Steam Deck compatibility is a welcome addition for many, several users have noted frame rate drops and graphical glitches, particularly in crowded areas or during intense combat. Insomniac Games has acknowledged these concerns and is actively developing patches to improve performance.
Despite these performance hiccups, many players praise the game's visual quality and intuitive controls on the Steam Deck. The immersive experience of swinging through New York City remains largely intact, thanks to the Deck's high-resolution screen and responsive controls.
Valve suggests adjusting in-game graphics settings to optimize performance. Lowering texture quality or disabling certain effects can significantly improve frame rate stability, particularly during demanding gameplay moments.
Ongoing updates promise a smoother experience for Steam Deck players in the future. While current performance limitations exist, the ability to play such a visually impressive game portably is a significant accomplishment. Potential buyers should consider these current limitations and the promise of future improvements before purchasing.
