I tried CP2077's Deck mode but it really seemed like a tech demo level of "you could do this if you really wanted to" more than it actually being playable.

The game felt like it had significant input lag, and at 720p with upscaling text becomes very hard to read. The game's visual style of "glitch" effects also translates badly with upscaling and I really had a tough time actually understanding what I'm looking at on the screen.

Perhaps the situation is better on OLED.



I thought it was playable on the LCD Deck. I did turn things down below what the Steam Deck preset was at. It certainly wasn't the smoothest 100% of the time but it was better than Fallout New Vegas on a PS3 IMO. It still holds up pretty well against the Switch 2 version in handheld mode.

Played and beat on an OLED deck, twice. Extremely playable. 30fps or higher almost all the time, handheld and docked work great.

It's the #10 top most played game on Steam Deck.

Yeah, and famously CP2077 isn't really playable on PS4 and Xbox One era hardware. Even HDD equipped machines need to downgrade the streaming.

The game on new machines is quite impressive, quite unlike anything else made.


I've had a great experience with the game even at 4K on a 3060 desktop, I just didn't find it workable on the Deck.
