Forza Horizon 5 on Legion Go

Steam Deck Playable · faster GPUValve's ratingEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. Valve rates Forza Horizon 5 Steam Deck Playable, and the Legion Go has a faster GPU than the Steam Deck OLED. At its native 2560×1600 we estimate ~37 fps on the low preset (range 29–44, medium confidence, ±20%). Even 40 fps is out of reach at native resolution.

Native = each device's own screen resolution; 1280×800 compares GPUs at the same render resolution. A faster handheld is the upgrade path here; desktop cards don't apply.
