Over the past few weeks, I’ve been playing a lot of Black Ops 6 on ROG Ally and Legion Go. And just a couple of days ago I got completely burned out from it and wanted something relaxing to play.
To my surprise, Farming Simulator 25 Steam Deck was about to launch and well, I had to pick it up for my Deck.
Just like its predecessors, it is a really relaxing experience and overall, I have to say FS25 runs pretty well on Steam Deck.
I’ve only experienced some minor problems and one time it crashed but those were rare occasions.
After trying different settings combinations, I can safely say that the best one is 800p at medium preset with the tweaks I will suggest below.

Keep the framerate capped at 30fps in FS25. You can also try messing around with low and very low preset if you want higher uncapped framerates. However, I think Farming Simulator 25 is pretty playable and runs well on medium (custom) at 800p. The VRAM was set at 4GB for this.
