Steam Deck Now Plays Marvel's Spider-Man 2: Mixed User Reactions

Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Steam Deck support has arrived, letting players swing through New York City on the go. However, initial reactions are mixed, with performance issues reported by some users.

While the Steam Deck compatibility is exciting, many have encountered frame rate drops and graphical glitches, especially in crowded areas or intense battles. Insomniac Games acknowledges these problems and is actively working on patches to improve performance.

Despite the performance hiccups, many praise the game's visuals and smooth control integration with the Steam Deck. The handheld's high-resolution screen delivers an immersive experience. However, inconsistent frame rates remain a concern for uninterrupted gameplay.

Valve suggests adjusting graphical settings to optimize performance. Lowering texture quality or disabling certain effects can significantly improve frame rate stability.

Future updates promise a smoother Steam Deck experience for Marvel's Spider-Man 2. While current performance limitations exist, the ability to play this visually impressive game portably is a significant achievement. Potential buyers should consider these current limitations alongside the promise of future improvements.
