Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart — The Best Settings for Steam Deck

Can we hit 60 FPS in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart on Steam Deck? Let's find out and dive into its performance and the best settings.

mostly low settings...The Steam Deck isn't for games like this.

The issue isn't it playing on low. That is not only understandable but on a display like the one present on the SD, not a big deal. The real issue is that you can only play it for about 1:30h because you need to run it at 22w to achieve that and the battery on the SD can only last that long under those conditions.

That is currently the biggest weakness of these handheld PCs. If you throw anything that is demanding at them, you are going to have to either limit your play time or play beside a power outlet.

Good point. I agree.

I use my deck a lottttt. I even use it directly in front of my TV that the gaming PC is hooked up to cause it's legitimately the best game controller in the world imo. but legit don't think I've ever used my Deck on battery for more than a few minutes lol.
If I'm at home in bed, waiting at the airport, on an airplane, in a car, or in a hotel... i mean there's very few times in my life where i want to play games but don't have access to a plug and I'd rather not even have to think about the battery or lowering my specs to hit a reasonable wattage while im gaming. I just plug it in

But hey that's me. I know some people commute by bus and whatnot. Me personally though, i couldn't care less

720 resolution actually looks pretty good on a Steam Deck screen like with games like FF15 and MGS5. If it can achieve that resolution at 40 FPS for R&C, that would be great. A hint of what a PSP 3 could be like

Can't wait for another R&C PS5 title.
Insomniac please return R&C back to Normal platform shooter.
(I personally) enjoyed Rift Apart gameplay up to Dr. Narferious , that was it for me after that.
