Best Remnant 2 graphics settings for Steam Deck

Remnant 2 is slated to be a bigger and better sequel to the 2019 game, Remnant: From the Ashes. The game is headed to all major platforms, including Steam. Valve's handheld, the Steam Deck doesn't officially support the game, however, players can run the title via ProtonDB. Do note that the early build of the game isn't very stable and performance is not up to par.

Since the Steam Deck doesn't feature the most powerful hardware on the market, gamers might not get optimal performance in this game.

In this article, we will detail the best settings for a decent experience on the console. Do note that the game is yet to receive the Day 1 patch, which should fix the majority of issues in the title. We expect performance to improve post-launch.

Display

• Display mode: Windowed fullscreen
• Resolution: 1280 x 800
• Brightness: 50
• Motion blur: Off
• Vsync: On
• Framerate: 30 FPS

Best Remnant 2 graphics settings for 60 FPS on Steam Deck

60 FPS on the Steam Deck in Remnant 2 is a bit difficult to achieve. However, by sacrificing the resolution and graphics settings, and relying on FSR, gamers can hit close to 60 frames in the title. Regardless, we don't recommend these settings in the game.

The best settings for a 60 FPS experience on the Steam Deck are as follows:

Display

• Display mode: Windowed fullscreen
• Resolution: 1280 x 720
• Brightness: 50
• Motion blur: Off
• Vsync: On
• Framerate: 60 FPS

Upscaler

• Upscaler: AMD FSR
• Upscaler quality: Ultra performance

Graphics quality

• Graphics quality preset: Low
• Shadow quality: Low
• Post-processing: Low
• Foliage quality: Low
• Effects quality: Low
• View distance quality: Low

Advanced

• FOV modifier: 1
• Minimize input latency: On

The game doesn't look its best even with these settings applied. A stable 60 FPS is nearly unobtainable unless you are playing the title at 480p.

If the early build of the upcoming shooter is anything to go by, the performance in the title will be a mess. This can destroy the experience on weaker hardware, like handheld consoles (Steam Deck, ROG Ally, etc.). Thus, the best idea is to play this game on a decently powerful gaming PC as of now.
