However, the single-player campaign works well without needing to log in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-direction-ltr ql-long-96893718\"><span class=\"ql-author-96893718\">The game runs smoothly on Medium settings, averaging 30 to 40 FPS with stable performance even during combat. HDR now works by default, improving visuals significantly. While some graphical features like FSR can cause issues, overall, the game plays surprisingly well on the Steam Deck, offering an impressive open-world experience on a handheld device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-direction-ltr ql-long-96893718\"><span class=\"ql-author-96893718\">If you want to take your gameplay even further, here\u2019s how you can enhance your <\/span><em class=\"ql-author-96893718\">Ghost of Tsushima<\/em><span class=\"ql-author-96893718\"> experience on Steam Deck using helpful tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ql-direction-ltr ql-long-96893718\" data-header=\"2\" data-foldable=\"true\" data-default-linespacing=\"100\"><span class=\"ql-author-96893718 ql-font-microsoftyahei\">How Can You Enhance Ghost of Tsushima Gaming on Steam Deck? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ql-direction-ltr ql-long-96893718\"><span class=\"ql-author-96893718\">To boost your single-player experience in <\/span><em class=\"ql-author-96893718\">this game<\/em><span class=\"ql-author-96893718\"> on Steam Deck, consider using Xmod.
