Valve has stated that the Steam Deck is tailored for a 30 FPS game. However, the system will not be limited by the established bar. The manufacturer specifies this threshold as the minimum acceptable level that users can expect from the console.
The laptop developers tested several games from Steam, and they all “ran stable or exceeded” 30 frames per second. However, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffe noted that the Steam Deck will have an additional built-in FPS limiter so that players can independently choose between performance and battery life.
The “30 FPS target” refers to the floor of what we consider playable in our performance testing; games we’ve tested and shown have consistently met and exceeded that bar so far. There will also be an optional built-in FPS limiter to fine-tune perf vs. battery life.

Earlier in an interview with IGN, Pierre-Loup Griffe said that Valve has not found a game that the Steam Deck cannot handle. The console will go on sale in the US, Canada, EU and UK in December 2023.
