RuneScape: Dragonwilds on Steam Deck – Not a Great Start

I tested RuneScape: Dragonwilds on the Steam Deck on launch day — and the results aren’t pretty. From serious performance drops to frustrating UI issues and bugs with controller support, this survival spin-off set in the RuneScape universe has a long way to go. In this video, I go over gameplay, performance (OLED & LCD), battery life, controller functionality, and whether it’s worth picking up right now.

➤ Tested on Steam Deck OLED
➤ Lowest settings, FSR (Auto, Balanced, Performance)
➤ 2h30m battery life, 20GB storage size
➤ Controller support is buggy
➤ Offline saves are local only
