The Division 2 – 60 FPS – Steam Deck Benchmark and Gameplay

In today’s video we are checking out The Division 2 on the Steam Deck. I ran benchmarks across all the graphics preset and tested gameplay at 60Hz and 40Hz. The Division 2 runs great for the most part, almost keeping stable 60 FPS, but falls just short. I tested lowering the resolution and using FSR and it runs pretty smooth. At 60Hz the battery will last you only 1 hour and 30 minutes. At 40Hz its about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

The Division 2 on the Steam Deck requires some tinkering to get it to launch if you own it on Ubisoft Connect and not in Steam directly. Please read more here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/10fsva1/how_to_get_the_division_2_ubisoft_connect_to_work/
