Baldur’s Gate 3<\/a> is here, and it’s able to be played portably thanks to the Steam Deck. The invention of the portable handheld PC has led to a lot of new ways to play games, and now we can play a brand new CRPG on the go.<\/p>\n

Of course, the big issue when it comes to the Steam Deck, in general, is that you really have to mess around with a lot of different settings just to get it to work, let alone in order to get it to run at the best possible frame rate for the hardware it’s running on. After messing around for a while, these are the best settings we’ve got for a solid 30FPS.<\/p>\n
