These are the best overall settings for Hell is Us, ready to be dialed in on your Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED.
Hell is Us is an Unreal Engine 5 game that is highly demanding on modern hardware. As a result, handhelds like the Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED have a difficult time running this game at the stock presets. The Steam Deck and the OLED run best with the settings below, using the built-in TSR resolution scaler instead of FSR or XeSS upscaling.
Note: For those who want to use Lossless Scaling as an option for Frame Generation, they can do so; it may or may not work. Nevertheless, be aware that the input lag when moving the camera may be noticeable. Set it up via Decky and you are good to go. There is a built-in frame generation within the game, and we have opted out of it due to the noticeable input delay.

Hell is Us – Best Settings for Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED
The settings below aim for a stable 30 FPS gaming experience and use TSR to perform the upscaling. This is because both FSR and XeSS are way too intensive for the Steam Deck hardware and negatively impact performance. With XeSS, you get better image quality, but the frame pacing is all over the place. We have used a 45% scaling here, but according to your tonal preference, you may adjust it to increase or decrease for better performance or a more refined image.
