With Valve pushing out an update for SteamOS' Preview branch to allow DOOM: The Dark Ages to run on the Steam Deck, I decided to go ahead and test it and see how it runs. Unfortunately, it's exactly as I feared and is NOT playable on the Steam Deck and getting 30 FPS will be near impossible without compromises that make it unplayable. It's a really fun game, and definitely worth it if you have a more powerful desktop PC, but not if you are planning to only play it on Steam Deck.
A copy of the game was provided early to us by Bethesda for review purposes.
