What could be the biggest surprise of the year — The Last of Us Part II Remastered releases on Steam on April 3rd, and Valve just gave it the green Steam Deck Verified checkmark.
Everyone commenting on the performance, so I'll comment on the game: fucking incredible. Better than the first imo. If you haven't played it yet, you really should.
What do you mean by finally? I played the last of us 1 probably a good year ago or so and it ran flawlessly on my deck. I'm pretty sure I even kept it docked and played on a nice big screen with no issues
A part of the "Verified" or "Playable" badges is the performance of a game on a Steam Deck. If it can't run well at all, it will get an "Unsupported" badge, ex. the remake of Silent Hill 2.
That misses the point. The Last of Us Part I is Steam Deck verified, but it consumes far too many resources.
Do note that I'm not just talking about the Deck. Some hardware can run it smoothly, some can't, but in all cases, it's an insultingly bloated pig of a port.
