[QUOTE="Admin, post: 53819, member: 1"] CD Projekt Red has offered fans a brief look at how the Witcher 3 will run on Steam Deck, using a number of short clips to show off various aspects of the game running on the new handheld. Showcased in a series of tweets posted on the [URL='https://twitter.com/witchergame/status/1445737514761801746']Witcher 3 Twitter account[/URL], fans will be pleased to see that the Witcher 3 appears to run smoothly on Valve's upcoming handheld PC. The clips shared by CD Projekt Red detail a range of scenarios including general exploration and combat. Shot on an external camera and with Twitter video compression, it's difficult to tell exactly what resolution the game is running at, but fans on Twitter are impressed with how the game is looking on the [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-deck-hands-on-impressions-details-valve-handheld-gaming-pc']handheld's native 800p screen[/URL]. From what has been shown by CD Projekt, the game's framerate appears to hold up well across the board. Even as Geralt enters more densely populated areas such as the game's cities, there doesn't seem to be a noticeable effect on performance.

We haven't seen what the game looks like when docked and connected to a TV with a higher resolution. Valve has noted that the device [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-deck-docked-performance']won't receive a performance boost[/URL] when doing so, so it will be interesting to see if and how the performance changes.
