Dragon’s Dogma 2 on Steam Deck: Will It Work?

There's no doubt that Capcom's upcoming Dragon's Dogma 2 is one of the most awaited releases of 2024. The fantasy title will allow players to encounter diverse monsters and engage in intense battles, accompanied by a Pawn, a mysterious otherworldly being. While at the launch, Dragon's Dogma 2 will be available for Xbox Series S/X, PS5, and PC, many Steam Deck owners wonder if they'll be able to play the game on their handhelds. If you've been wondering the same, we've got you covered! Here's everything we know about Dragon's Dogma 2 release on Valve's Steam Deck handheld.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Can You Play The Game On Steam Deck?

Short Answer: Yes! Players can enjoy Dragon’s Dogma 2 on Steam Deck. However, it’s worth keeping in mind that the game doesn’t have a Steam Deck rating so far. This is likely to change once the game is released. 

The minimum requirements for Dragon’s Dogma 2 on PC are pretty demanding, which can push your Steam Deck to its absolute limits. Although it’s more optimized than traditional GPUs, you might have to switch the settings to low to get the best performance in the game. 

The first game, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, takes 20 GB of space and runs quite well on Steam Deck. It can reach 60 FPS and is fully verified for the handheld. This is good news for Steam Deck owners since Capcom is known for optimizing their handheld games. However, Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be more demanding than its predecessor. So, until the game launches, it’s difficult to say how well it will run on Steam Deck.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Release Date and Time

Dragon’s Dogma will launch on 22nd March 2024. However, there is no specific release time. If we follow Capcom’s previous title launches, players will be able to play the game right when midnight rolls around in the local timezone.
