[Game] Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Got Steam Deck Verified, But It Still Has Issues (steamdeckhq.com)

From reading about the performance, sounds like it probably should have been rated "playable" instead of verified.

That said, this is pretty cool because this was one of those games that was absolutely unplayable on deck at release.

This is also encouraging for our chances of having Doom Dark Ages be playable since I think they're using the same engine. Doom games are usually optimized really well, so I'm hoping it will run better than this.

Lower resolution (800p or 720p) + 30fps target makes a lot of games run acceptably on the Deck. Blurry/low graphics are also a lot more acceptable on a smaller screen.

It's also worth noting that although very limited, the Steam Deck does actually support hardware accelerated ray tracing.
