If you’re after Dark Souls on the go, you’ll be surprised by just how taken you’ll be with Dark Souls on Steam Deck. And thanks to the Steam Deck’s larger screen, you can read the screen and respond much easier than, say, playing it on Nintendo Switch. Of course it’s not going to look at slick today as it did then.īut here’s the kicker: Even though it’s showing its age, Dark Souls still manages to captivate with its haunting visuals and somber atmosphere. After going from Elden Ring on Steam Deck, there’s a noticeable drop in visuals but that’s to be expected. It’s still nightmarishly difficult and generally miserable, but it plays fantastically. Dark Souls Remasted on Steam Deck runs like a dream. Honestly, this is the easiest Recommended verdict ever.

It’ll make your journey in Drangleic all that much easier. It’s not a major gripe by any means, but if you need a fluid 60 frames all the time, it’s definitely worth considering. You can, of course, get around this by dropping the resolution for these areas and turning on FSR. Not unplayable, and we are only talking about small sections of the game overall, but it’s worth noting. Most noticeably, the Sif fight and the passage leading to Sen’s Fortress.īoth areas felt sluggish in 1080p.

1080p runs smoothly for the most part but there are a handful of places where the frames dip. The only area I would advise some consideration is in the resolution. No game is bug-free, but Dark Souls Remastered works well enough that you won’t need to worry about bugs or constant crashes. Dark Souls Remastered (In-game Settings)Įstimated Battery Life: 2 Hours 10 Minutesĭocked Mode Resolution: 1280×720 / 1920 x 1080 Doing so will add extra options in-game that won’t show up unless you change the native resolution beforehand. You can do this one the main home screen by selecting Dark Souls then hitting the three lines button, then going into properties and changing the resolution to 1920×1080.

If you’re hooking the Steam Deck up to a TV or monitor, I’d definitely recommend switching to full 1080p. Neither affected the framerate either, so you may as well leave it as is. I tested both FFXA and Temporal for the anti-aliasing and found no difference between the two. That sais, I will always turn motion blur off because if a game is running smooth, there’s no need for it, and it just muddies the visuals. There isn’t much of a need for tinkering with Dark Souls on Steam Deck. It’s mostly playable, but if you’re after the smoothest experience possible, 1080p is where it’s at. It is possible to push Dark Souls up to 1440p, or QHD as it’s known, but frames will fluctuate depending on the area. My on-screen frame counter stayed at 28 frames but it felt much worse than that. During my testing Dark Souls ran at around 28 frames in the less busy areas in 4K, but there was a lag on top of the low framerate. It’ll work with minimal fuss.ĤK isn’t quite possible. That means you don’t even need to think about FSR.

Hooked up to a TV, the Steam Deck can run Dark Souls at a native resolution of 1920×1080 while maintaining a smooth 60 frames. 60 frames per second is a given with a game like this, but where things get interesting is when we switch to docked mode. It runs so well, in fact, you can even push what it’s capable of. In theory, anyway.ĭark Souls Remasted on Steam Deck runs will minimal faults. The older the game, the better it should run. The reason I mentioned all this stuff is due to age being a great factor on the Steam Deck. Anyone else feel like turning to dust right now? Given that the original Dark Souls launched back in 2011, even with the Remastered overhaul it’s a game that’s over a decade old.
