Gears of War Reloaded runs smoothly on the Steam Deck with optimized settings, offering a balance between performance and gritty visuals.
Gears of War Reloaded can be played seamlessly on the Steam Deck with a 60 FPS cap at medium or high settings. The remastered game is Steam Deck Verified, and the developers at The Coalition have worked to increase its compatibility with handhelds.
FSR 3.1 support is valuable on the Steam Deck, allowing it to run the game on higher settings without compromising performance. This guide outlines the best settings for Gears of War Reloaded you can experiment with, whether you want to maximize frame rates or maintain visual fidelity without using upscaling.
Gears of War Reloaded: Best Steam Deck Settings
For a balance between smooth gameplay and graphical clarity, we recommend using Quality FSR 3.1 upscaling with high presets. Those looking to run the game without upscaling can cap the frame rate at 60 FPS and play on default (medium) settings. If you want to experience ultra settings without tanking the frame rate, use the Steam Deck Lossless Scaling plugin for frame generation.
