Testing Helldivers 2 on Steam Deck One Year Later—Is It Any Better?

Helldivers 2 has been out for a year, and I’m revisiting it on the Steam Deck to see if the performance has improved. In this video, I’ll go over the gameplay, FPS performance, battery life, and whether this co-op shooter is worth playing on the Deck now. Spoiler alert: it’s a bit of a rollercoaster! I’ll show you how it runs, how to make it playable, and whether it’s the best option for this chaotic shooter. Let’s dive in!
