Valve’s handheld has proven itself to be a device capable of punching above its weight in situations you wouldn’t expect it to. The Deck proves itself once again withAvatar: Frontiers of Pandorawhich runs at an acceptable level on the device.
There are a couple of hurdles you’ll encounter. The biggest one is the fact thatthe game isn’t available on Steam’s store. Consequently, you’ll have to visit the Microsoft Store, Epic Games Store, or the Ubisoft Store to grab yourself a copy. You can access these stores on the Deck, and the Heroic Games Launcher will help you with EGS.
Things get a little trickier with the Ubisoft Store, though it can be added to your Steam Library with a little tinkering in desktop mode. As for Microsoft’s Store, you’re forced to switch to Windows OS. Out of the three launchers, Epic Games Store will probably be the easiest to set up and start playingFrontiers of Pandora.

I’ve experimented withFrontiers of Pandoraon the handheld, and while it won’t be my primary platform for the game, it’s certainly viable. As is the case with most AAA games released in 2023, you’ll have to crank the visuals down significantly toget it running on the Deck. The plus side is that even on the lower graphical settings, it still looks pretty good. You’ll also enjoy a relatively consistent 30 FPS framerate.
