Stable frame rates make it a strong portable sim candidate

The title is now available on and fully compatible with the Steam Deck platform. We reviewed the game's performance across different graphical presets to determine where the handheld shines and where it struggles. The developer has ensured that the core driving mechanics remain responsive and intuitive on the device's controls. This compatibility extends to the user interface, which scales appropriately for the smaller screen.

At the default Very High quality setting, the game maintains a frame rate above 60 FPS almost entirely. There is only one specific section where the player drives into a town that causes a dip to 56 FPS. Switching to High settings guarantees no drops below 60 FPS anywhere in the game. These settings provide the best balance of visual quality and performance for most players.

Ultra settings are playable but require compromises in specific environments. The game drops significantly in forest areas, so a 45 FPS lock or lower may be necessary for a smooth experience there. The UI remains large and easy to read regardless of the graphical preset chosen. All controls function perfectly, ensuring that steering and braking feel natural on the handheld.

Truckful is priced at $17.99 on Steam. This price point makes it an affordable option for handheld gamers who want a complete simulation experience. The game is currently on sale until October 23rd. This is a good time to pick it up if you have been waiting for a stable trucking sim for your Deck.

When we covered the last Truckful update, several of the same balance and stability themes came up. This current release continues that trend by prioritizing a consistent frame rate over maximum graphical fidelity. The game proves that demanding PC titles can run well on portable hardware with the right optimization.
