The Resident Evil 4 remake demo was launched and tested on Steam Deck

The Control Network YouTube channel has published a video testing the demo version of the Resident Evil 4 remake on Steam Deck.

The demo does not have an official optimization for Valve's portable gaming computer, so in order to play it, the owners of the device need to install a preview update of Steam OS 3. 4. 6, as well as a new hotfix for Proton.

In 720p resolution with minimal graphics settings and with FSR 2 technology enabled. 0

(in the "Performance" mode) the frame rate of the game fluctuates around 40-50 FPS in open locations and in some cases can reach 60 frames per second, including in enclosed spaces and cutscenes.

In general, the smoothness of the gameplay on far from the most powerful Steam Deck hardware can be described as quite comfortable, but in some places there are still short-term slowdowns.

The full release of Resident Evil 4 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 will take place on March 24.
