Here are the optimized settings to play Little Nightmares 3 on the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and more. These settings will deliver smooth FPS.
The recently launched Little Nightmares 3 has seemingly decent system requirements, considering the 2025 standard. While these requirements are quite reasonable, they still might be a bit too much for tiny handheld devices, such as the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go, and others.
Therefore, you must use optimized settings in the game, which will boost the performance to a locked 60 FPS. We are sharing all the optimized settings below. Read on to learn more.

Best Little Nightmares 3 Settings for the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and More
The Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Legion Go are powered by AMD chipsets, while the MSI Claw has an Intel chip. Despite the chipset differences, these handheld devices have a similar performance. However, we still feel the need to have different settings for each handheld.
That’s why we are sharing a dedicated set of settings for each handheld device, which will help them run Little Nightmares 3 at 60 FPS. You will find these settings below:
Note: The settings provided are for the devices mentioned below and shouldn’t be used for other handhelds.

Conclusion
With the above settings, Little Nightmares 3 will run smoothly at 60 FPS on the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and more. However, you will need to do one more thing to achieve a constant 60 FPS without any stutters or frame drops. Set your handheld to 25 or 30W, depending on the model. This is a must for ROG Ally, Legion Go, and MSI Claw. The Steam Deck can’t do this since it has a locked TDP. Instead, you will need to enable Manual GPU Clock on the Deck and set it to 1600 MHz for the best results.
