Can you play Dying Light The Beast on the Steam Deck?

The Dying Light The Beast Steam Deck rating has been confirmed, and it's fantastic news for anyone hoping to play this epic horror adventure on the Valve gaming handheld.

While the Dying Light The Beast system requirements went as far as to demand an RTX 5070 for the absolute best performance, the low-end demands only ask for a GTX 1060, something much more accommodating for the Steam Deck, even if it's still more powerful than the custom AMD CPU inside the handheld. Following some additional optimizations by Techland, it appears as though it's managed to get the game running on the best gaming handheld, and Valve is clearly happy with the result, too.

Is Dying Light The Beast Steam Deck Compatible?

Dying Light The Beast is Verified for the Steam Deck. This announcement has come just before the game launches, confirming that Techland's latest horror adventure will run great on Valve's handheld using the default graphical settings.

Aware of the importance of the Steam Deck in modern gaming, Techland's rendering and audio director, Tomasz Szałkowski, said, "As a fan of the Steam Deck, I was personally driven to bring Dying Light The Beast to the platform."

This will be music to the ears of Deck owners, but it gets even better as Szałkowski continues, saying that "I oversaw every detail to make sure it runs really well, including a special 'performance' mode that contains a mix of tweaked settings and special optimizations together with HDR and CRR running smoothly on an OLED display."

We love it when developers go out of their way not just to get the green tick of approval from Valve, but when they also go into detail on what exactly they've done to ensure the game runs great on handhelds like the Steam Deck.

This optimization could go on to make Dying Light The Beast one of the best Steam Deck games to play in 2025. Elsewhere, if your Deck is in need of some upgrades, check out our guide to the best Steam Deck accessories, where you can find docks, memory expansion options, and much more.
