Valve says it's targeting 30FPS gameplay at a native resolution of 800p for Steam Deck, its AMD-based handheld gaming PC.

In an interview with IGN, Valve's Pierre-Loup Griffais explained that all the games released this year which have been tested on Steam Deck have been "running without issues." He goes on to partly attribute the handheld's performance successes to "industry trends" that favor stable frame rates over high resolutions. pg

"If people are still valuing high frame rates and high resolutions on different platforms," Griffais said, "I think that content will scale down to our 800p, 30Hz target really well."
