Best Steam Deck settings for Black Myth: Wukong

The Steam Deck is by far my favorite gaming device, but when I started playing Black Myth: Wukong on it, I switched back to my PC pre﷽tty quickly. The low and inconsistent frame rate just wasn’t worth untethering myself from my desk. 

I couldn’t resist the Deck for long, though, and luckily I discovered that with just a few tweaks Black Myth: Wukong actually runs pretty well on it. I’ve been able to get the game to consistently stay about 45 FPS, and while that’s not spectacular, it’s good enough for me. Black Myth: Wukong undeniably looks a lot better on other platforms, but if you’ve got your heart set on playing🌺 the game on Steam Deck, then you can definitely make it h🐻appen. 

Best settings for Black Myth: Wukong on Steam Deck

Black Myth: Wukong 🌳will optimize its settings the first time you load it up on the Steam Deck. The presets are a good start, but I was only getting 30-45 FPS with plenty of fluctuation when I tried using them. Here are some other settings you 𝓡should take a look at: 

• Super Resolution: 50 — lowering this was the main thing that increased my frame rate and stability
• Super Resolution Sampling: FSR
• Frame Generation: On 
• Full Ray Tracing: Off
• Graphics Preset: Low
• Frame Rate Limit: 60 — set this in your Steam Deck settings

That’s about it! Graphically, Black Myth: Wukong is notably woಌrse on Steam Deck, but t🐠hat hardly matters when you can smash through bosses on your back porch or during your morning bus ride.
