How to use Vulkan on Steam Deck

AttendingStoke·2 years ago

To get Vulkan running on your Steam Deck, first make sure your system is updated. Then, for most games, Vulkan should work right out of the box if the game supports it! Some games might require you to enable Vulkan specifically in the game's settings. If you're using a game that needs a bit more coaxing to switch to Vulkan, you might need to set the game's launch options in Steam. Right-click on the game in your library, go to Properties, and then set the launch options with the Vulkan command line for that game. It varies from game to game, so a quick Google with "[game name] Vulkan launch option" should guide you right.
