EA's Star Wars Zero Company runs poorly on the Steam Deck, leaving handheld owners with a frustrating experience. The game demands more power than the device can provide, making it unsuitable for portable play. Buyers looking to take this title on the go should look elsewhere.
Game averages 18-22 FPS on lowest settings
The game is available globally on Steam for $49.99. Despite the high price tag, the performance on Valve's handheld is severely compromised. The system struggles to maintain even a basic frame rate during standard gameplay.
Testing reveals the game averages only 18 to 22 FPS on the lowest settings. This low baseline causes significant stuttering and makes combat difficult to manage. The frame rate rarely approaches the 30 FPS threshold needed for smooth action.
Third-party frame generation tools like Decky-lsfg and Mako fail to fix the issue. These tools introduce terrible input lag and worsen the stuttering problem. The reviewer noted that the base frame rate is too low for these techniques to help.
We looked at the last Star Wars Zero Company update earlier while tracking balance changes. The current state of the game on Steam Deck remains a significant hurdle for fans. The title is a great game, but not one to take on the Deck.
