Aloft on Steam Deck OLED
No. Valve rates Aloft Unsupported on Steam Deck: some or all of it doesn't work on the device, so our estimate only matters if that changes. At the Steam Deck OLED's native 1280×800 we estimate ~33 fps on the medium preset (range 26–39, medium confidence, ±20%). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

| medium | 33 | 26–39 |
| high | 25 | 20–30 |
| ultra | 20 | 16–24 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Presets for 30 / 40 / 60 fps
- 30 fps at 1280×800: medium preset
- 40 fps at 1280×800: low preset
- 60 fps at 1280×800: not reachable
AMD graphics: use FSR in quality or balanced mode (or the system-level RSR upscaler) before dropping the preset. DLSS is not available on AMD.
Frame cap and power
- Screen: 1280×800, 90 Hz, 50 Wh battery.
- Even frame caps for 90 Hz: 30, 45, 90 fps. The low end of our range (26 fps) is under 30 fps, so expect drops below any cap.
- TDP: not measured yet. We don't publish wattage advice until we have measured runs.
