Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has finally launched on PC and several consoles, including Valve’s Steam Deck. Despite the handheld being the weakest console the game has launched on, you still can get a lot of mileage out of it. However, getting the best settings for the best experience can be tricky.

We’ve tested the new 15th century RPG on the Valve gaming handheld, and show you how to get a playable frame rate with our settings guide.

Deliverance 2 passes the Steam Deck test on performance, even with some higher settings, though not all of it perfectly suits the 800p screen.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Warhorse Studios’ hardcore medieval RPG, has arrived on PC. With a huge open world to explore and tough combat, you’ll want the game to run the best it can.

After years of development, the RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance II from Warhorse Studios is out now, and it's putting up huge numbers on Steam. The game has exceeded 150,000 concurrent users on Steam, just hours after launch, and is the No. 1 top-selling game on Steam in the US right now. The game is also available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

We are also seeing something that does not usually happen, in that the concurrent peak playercount for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has gone up every day since launch, and is hitting new peaks as I currently write this.
