Fallout 76 has seen a surge in players thanks to the Fallout TV show, which means a lot of people (myself included) are curious whether the game can run on a Steam Deck and, if so, what the best settings are. Here's how to ensure your game runs smoothly on your Steam Deck.
Steam Deck OLED – Fallout 76 – Recommended setting
If you look at the Fallout 76 Steam page, the game is listed as “playable.” This means that the game should run on any Steam Deck, but there may be a few issues. For example, the page notes that you may have to use the virtual keyboard to type, or that you may have trouble reading text on the screen.
Overall, it seems like the game should run on the Steam Deck without any game-breaking issues. I haven’t had any issues with the game so far, but I haven’t played with other players, so I haven’t had to use the keyboard at all. In fact, I enjoyed the game more on the Steam Deck than on my PlayStation, simply because I can play it anywhere without sacrificing much.
