Avowed is a demanding game. In this guide, we have explained the best Steam Deck settings for you to play Avowed.
Avowed is a fantasy RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment, set in the world of Eora. It launches on February 18, 2025, for Xbox Series X/S and PC. The game can also be played on a Steam Deck since it is available on Steam for purchase. However, you can expect significantly lower performance compared to a PC or console.
With the game’s system requirements, players might find it difficult to achieve a stable 30 fps on a handheld. In this guide, we will tell you the best settings for Avowed when playing on a Steam Deck.
Best Graphical Settings for Avowed on a Steam Deck
Avowed is not designed for handheld devices like the Steam Deck. The game offers somewhere between 20-30 fps with upscaling enabled.

Can You Play Avowed in Third Person?
Yes, you can play Avowed in both first-person and third-person mode. Obsidian Entertainment has confirmed that the entirety of Avowed is playable in third-person mode right from the start. Moreover, the game does not feature a dedicated button to switch perspectives instantly. However, Avowed seems to perform very poorly when switched to a third-person perspective on a Steam Deck.
Finally, to switch to a third-person view in Avowed, you need to open settings and follow these steps:
- Access the Settings Menu.
- Navigate to the Game Options.
- Scroll down to the Camera Section.
- Toggle the Third-Person View to On.
