Steam Deck PlayableValve's ratingEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes, with issues. Valve rates Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Steam Deck Playable. At the Steam Deck OLED's native 1280×800 we estimate ~37 fps on the medium preset (range 30–45, medium confidence, ±20%). Our spec-based model is conservative for games tuned for Steam Deck; Valve's test result comes first. 60 fps is out of reach; 40 fps works on low.
