Grounded 2 is built upon the idea of what was already established in Grounded 1, but with a bigger world map, more realistic visuals, and a richer storyline. The upgraded visual fidelity comes from the switch to Unreal Engine 5. Therefore, the game has more demanding system requirements and will not run well on low-power handhelds, such as the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Legion Go S.

However, we have optimized the graphics settings of Grounded 2, which will allow the handheld devices to deliver a stable 30 FPS performance. You will find all the optimized settings in the article below. Read on to learn more.

Note: The settings provided below are based on the game’s minimum system specs and shouldn’t be used for resolutions higher than what’s mentioned in the settings table for each handheld.

What Are the Best Settings for Grounded 2 on Steam Deck?

The Steam Deck’s hardware is somewhat outdated in 2025, especially compared to other handhelds on the market. The worst part is you can’t switch the chipset to 25W or higher, which would’ve surely increased the performance further. This makes it hard to achieve even 30 FPS in Grounded 2 on Steam Deck. However, if you apply the settings below, you will achieve a stable 30 FPS:
