Is Sonic X Shadow Generations Steam Deck compatible?

Is Sonic X Shadows Generations Steam Deck compatible? The latest appearance from the fastest mammal in video game history is here, and despite initial uncertainty due to a lack of rating, the game runs brilliantly on Valve's handheld gaming PC.

The process for reviewing games on Steam Deck can take some time, so a review isn't always available on release day. However, we are now very pleased to announce that Sonic X Shadows Generations has received the highest possible rating for the best handheld gaming PC.

Is Sonic X Shadow Generations Steam Deck compatible?

Yes, Sonic X Shadow Generations has been verified by Valve for the Steam Deck, with no performance or compatibility footnotes.

It may have taken a while for the Verified rating to appear, but the great performance of Sonic X Shadow Generations on Steam Deck is now reflected in the rating.

The game runs great on high settings and can be set to 60fps for the best gaming experience. However, when playing the Shadow portions of the game, you may notice slight visual issues that cause the frame rate to temporarily drop as low as 55fps.

Unfortunately, this great performance comes at the expense of the battery. You can expect the game to get to you pretty quickly, with around two hours of gameplay expected. You can try to extend this by lowering the TDP setting in the options menu, but game performance may be affected.
