Subscribe to our newsletter When Death Stranding 2 released for PC last month I didn't think it would work well on Steam Deck.

And it didn't: when I booted it up on my OLED, nothing I tinkered with could stop its framerate from lurching between the teens and mid-20s with long hitches in-between, which was slightly disappointing because Death Stranding: Director's Cut is a gem on Steam Deck.Still, fair enough, I thought.

It's a big blockbuster PS5-exclusive, and the Steam Deck is getting long-ish in the tooth.But last week port magicians Nixxes rolled out patch 1.2 for the PC version of Death Stranding 2.

The patch notes promised "improved performance on Steam Deck" among other performance-centric tweaks ## Editor's Note Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops. Source: [PC Gamer](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/after-a-recent-patch-death-stranding-2-is-great-on-steam-deck/)
