The answer, unfortunately, is something of a complicated one.<\/p>\n<p>Jedi: Fallen Order runs great on Valve\u2019s handheld, and those hoping to play its sequel on the go too will want to know all the details.<\/p>\n<p>Keep on reading to find out if the Steam Deck can run Star Wars Jedi: Survivor or not.<\/p> <h2><b>Will Star Wars Jedi: Survivor run on Steam Deck?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Yes! Star Wars Jedi: Survivor <b>can be played on Steam Deck<\/b>. It doesn\u2019t run particularly well, but it does work and can be played on the handheld PC.<\/p>\n<p>According to the official EA FAQ on the game, there is \u201cno dedicated support\u201d for Jedi Survivor on Steam Deck. Despite this, you can pick up the game on Steam and play it on the handheld right now.<\/p>\n<p>Given its <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-2-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">massive file size<\/a>, though, you might need to upgrade your Deck\u2019s storage before installing the game.<\/p>\n<p>You can play it but performance is far from optimal. Thanks to a YouTube video from <a href=\"\/\/youtu.be\/_thXRFdmGO0&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">PC-Gaming.it<\/a>, we can see how the game runs below 30fps on low settings, often dropping below 20fps when the action ramps up. You can check out the video below:<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Steam\" deck=\"\" gameplay=\"\" star=\"\" wars=\"\" jedi:=\"\" survivor=\"\" fsr2=\"\" steamos=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_thXRFdmGO0?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" web-share=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>Even given the game\u2019s <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-pc-requirements\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">demanding PC requirements<\/a>, the Steam Deck could perform better here. As it turns out, the game\u2019s PC port seems to be poorly optimised at launch and doesn\u2019t appear to get the most out of any hardware, even the most capable components.<\/p>\n<p>After some time, the game should run better on PC and on the Steam Deck thanks to potential performance updates and fixes.<\/p>\n<p>On the Steam page, it doesn\u2019t say whether the game is unsupported, playable, or verified. Given how the sequel has just launched, however, this shouldn\u2019t come as much of a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the game\u2019s FSR options (and the Steam Deck\u2019s built-in resolution upscaler) can work wonders. We\u2019ve played many a game on Valve\u2019s portable PC with upscaled resolutions allowing for increased frame rates.<\/p>\n<p>As of writing \u2014 and the YouTube video above \u2014 it seems as though these FSR options do nothing. Fingers crossed this comes in time and we can eke out higher frame rates in Jedi Survivor on Steam Deck without notable image quality loss.<\/p>\n<p>For now, though, you can play the game on Steam Deck at less-than-ideal performance. Our advice is to wait for some performance updates before playing, which should come sooner rather than later.<\/p>\nThere seems to be an issue with the quiz, please try again.\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-review\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 our fill verdict<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-planets\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Star Wars Jedi: Survivor planets<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 worlds apart<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-trophies-achievements\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Star Wars Jedi: Survivor trophies<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 all achievements<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-cast-voice-actors\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Star Wars Jedi: Survivor cast<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 confirmed actors<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-easter-eggs\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Easter eggs<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 cameos and more<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-ending-explained\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Star Wars Jedi: Survivor ending explained<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 spoilers!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-when-set\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>When is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor set?<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-how-long-explained\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>How long is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-new-game-plus\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Does Star Wars Jedi: Survivor have New Game Plus?<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-ps4-xbox-one\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Why isn\u2019t Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PS4 or Xbox One?<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-jedi-survivor-xbox-game-pass\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor coming to Xbox Game Pass?<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to our <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">free Gaming Newsletter<\/a> for weekly insights, and visit our<strong> <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\">Gaming<\/a> hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
