The Cyberpunk 2077 1.52 update adds a Steam Deck preset to the Cyberpunk 2077 game on Steam Deck, which means the game can run on Valve’s handheld at that quality. Best, but tested by players, that’s not actually the case.
The test results of YouTube blogger Gaming on Linux:
- Adjusted the image quality from Medium to Steam Deck, and the performance was higher than the Steam Deck preset in the video
- Reloading 2077, the game prompts that its preset is highest, so the blogger adjusts to Steam Deck again, runs the score, and finds that the preset running score of Steam Deck is very low. Then adjust to Low Quality, go back to the menu, run the score, then adjust to Steam Deck, run the score again, and find that the Steam Deck preset image quality at this time is the highest.
- One sentence summary: The Steam Deck of Cyberpunk 2077 is actually the last image quality before you adjusted to the Steam Deck preset image quality.
- On any reboot, Steam Deck will default to the Highest quality. So the Steam Deck preset quality of Cyberpunk 2077 is basically unusable, which is why other videos show a different performance or picture.
