For those of you playing on Steam Deck, Baldur’s Gate 3 now also features a native Steam Deck build!
Running natively on the platform, you should now see a better framerate, lower loading times, and smoother gameplay 🙌
The store page hasn’t updated yet, but you can see the Linux Steam depots on steamdb.
Aren’t most games on Vulkan these days?
Unfortunately not. The vast majority of games are DX12. Even DX11 is likely still more popular than Vulkan.
A lot of engines support Vulkan builds, but the default is DX. Almost every game is DX.
There’s still plenty of other Windows-only APIs that games rely on.
