Zombie enthusiasts, rejoice! The highly anticipated Dying Light The Beast has officially received its Steam Deck Verified rating, bringing this thrilling horror adventure to Valve’s popular gaming handheld with outstanding performance.
Initially, concerns arose regarding the game’s demanding PC system requirements, with recommendations going up to an RTX 5070 for peak performance. However, the more modest minimum requirement of a GTX 1060 sparked hope for Steam Deck compatibility, despite the handheld’s custom AMD GPU being less powerful than a GTX 1060. Fortunately, Techland’s dedicated optimization efforts have paid off, ensuring the game runs smoothly on Valve’s premier portable device, much to the delight of both players and Valve itself.

Yes, absolutely! Dying Light The Beast is officially Steam Deck Verified, a fantastic confirmation that Techland’s newest horror experience will deliver an excellent gameplay experience on Valve’s handheld right out of the box, utilizing its default graphical settings.
Techland’s commitment to the Steam Deck platform is truly commendable. Tomasz Szałkowski, the game’s rendering and audio director, highlighted this dedication, stating, “As a fan of the Steam Deck, I was personally driven to bring Dying Light The Beast to the platform.”
This news is undoubtedly thrilling for Steam Deck owners, and it gets even better! Szałkowski further elaborated on the team’s meticulous approach, revealing, “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.” This ensures an immersive and responsive experience, especially for those with an OLED model.
It’s always fantastic to see developers not only secure Valve’s coveted ‘Verified’ status but also openly share the specific efforts they’ve made to optimize their games for handheld devices like the Steam Deck. This level of transparency and dedication truly enhances the player experience.
With such thorough optimization, Dying Light The Beast is poised to become one of the standout titles for the Steam Deck in 2025, offering a truly premium portable experience.
