Surprisingly, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has been given the Steam Deck Verified checkmark by Valve, after the latest patch was released with more updates planned.

    Okay but does it work? Looked it up on launch and the reviews were chock full of crashes and bugs.

      They’ve been updating it regularly and it’s in a much better state today than it was at launch.

        does it run well on the steamdeck?

        Looking at the reviews, it seems that even higher end pc hardware is having trouble

        Edit: According to experiences on reddit: it barely runs

          Gabe Sparrow: “But it does run.”

          Yeah it’s still looking pretty rough, but I guess it is playable. Drops below 30 quite regularly and relies heavily on upscaling. But it looks like a better experience than FF7 Rebirth is on steam deck.

          For handheld, I’d live with it if I couldn’t stream from a PC for whatever reason. But if playing docked on a monitor or tv, this wouldn’t cut it for me.

          Note, I haven’t actually bought this game yet, I’m waiting for sales.

          I just have to keep reminding myself that these are games designed and targeted for the PS5, and to honestly be running in any decent capacity on the steam deck is quite a feat in its own right.

        Hmmm I will look at picking it up in the Spring sale then.
