Best Steam Deck settings for Avowed

Obsidian Entertainment's latest game, Avowed, is set to release globally on February 18, 2025. The action RPG title is set in the world of Eora, the same universe as Pillars of Eternity. Pillars of Eternity is another title from Obsidian Entertainment, and now, both games share the same universe.

Users who pre-ordered Avowed's Premium Edition can get their hands on it before the title's release via early access. That said, the game's system requirements are a bit on the higher side. Luckily, the Steam Deck has the power to run Avowed and achieve 30 FPS as long as you use the right settings.

This article looks at the best settings for Avowed on Steam Deck.
