ARK on Steam Deck? Prepare to turn down those settings unless you enjoy playing a slideshow. Still playable, but beauty comes at a cost.

Sure can! But remember, ARK is like that friend who needs a LOT of your attention (aka system resources). So, you might need to play around with the settings to get it running smoothly without turning the Deck into a mini-volcano.

Absolutely! The Steam Deck runs on a Linux-based system but don’t fret, it’s got Proton – a compatibility layer that lets you play games made for Windows, including ARK: Survival Evolved. So, you can definitely enjoy taming dinos on-the-go. Just make sure you adjust the settings for optimal performance cause ARK can be a bit demanding.

Yes, but be wary of performance. ARK is notorious for its hardware demands. You'll need to tweak settings for a smoother experience on Deck.
