Exoprimal is the latest shooter from Capcom. The title isn't officially supported on the Steam Deck, however, it can easily be played thanks to the Proton translation layer. Although the game is quite demanding, the Valve handheld can easily play it at up to 60 FPS on the native display without major hiccups.

Since the Deck runs the PC version of the shooting title, there are tons of video options to customize for the best experience. These settings can make or break the experience on the handheld, thus making it paramount to fine-tune them before going ahead to mow down dozens of dinosaurs.

In this article, we will go over the best settings for both 30 and 60 FPS experiences in the game.
