Cyberpunk 2077 has a dedicated Steam Deck setting, but it's not working as intended.

A new report from Gaming On Linux takes a deep dive into the new settings for Cyberpunk 2077, breaking down how the action-RPG actually performs on the handheld device. For a start, the outlet notices that the "Steam Deck" settings for Cyberpunk 2077 are the exact same as the "Ultra" settings on PC, and will default back to Ultra settings if you reload the game with the Steam Deck settings selected.

Specifically though, the Steam Deck settings for Cyberpunk 2077 actually produce a subpar performance of under 30 frames per second. In short, Gaming On Linux recommends steering well clear of the supposed Steam Deck settings for Cyberpunk 2077, as the mode clearly isn't working as intended and giving the performance users would no doubt be hoping for.
