The Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) is a handheld card with 4GB of VRAM, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 63 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 33 FPS with everything on High.

|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 33 | 63 |
