Baldur’s Gate 3 has been Steam Deck Verified since 2023, but with HotFix 34, Larain wanted to take things to the next level with a native Steam Deck version of the game. This new version has optimised Steam Deck settings enabled by default, and runs without needing to use Proton, the Steam Deck’s compatibility layer.

Simply put, this new version of Baldur’s Gate 3 runs more efficiently. Instead of using a compatibility layer, it now runs directly on Valve’s Steam Deck hardware. This frees up CPU and memory performance, allowing the game to run faster. This gives the game a more stable framerate, faster loading times, and smoother gameplay. [...]
