Marvel Rivals is how AAA multiplayer games should be made on handhelds. It runs so smooth on the Steam Deck and after my testing on Legion Go, I have similar results with minor issues.
There are some hiccups because Unreal Engine 5 isn’t the best at multiplayer games, so frame rate drops are common if you’re going to push visuals.
So, I recommend using the best settings I am sharing below for the best, most stable frame rates.
Key Takeaways for Better Performance
800p Resolution
- Recommended for smoother gameplay.
- Offers a good balance between visuals and performance.
- Use FSR, TSR, or XSS upscaling — no significant differences were noted among these options.
1200p Resolution
- Not recommended due to significant frame dips (down to 30s or 40s).
- Low settings help but aren’t enough to maintain a consistent, smooth gameplay.
Marvel Rivals Best Graphics Settings on Legion Go
- Resolution: 800p
- Power Mode: 25W
- Graphics: Low settings with FSR on Quality or Balanced.
- Frame Generation: Optional at 800p
Despite some performance drips, the game suffers from no crashes or stutters. Marvel Rivals plays well on 800p settings and looks good on the Legion Go screen.
There is really no need to push 1200p because it will lower your frame rates to the point where you will see drops into the 30s.

There is a slight input lag when frame gen is on but it’s not that much of a problem. So, it’s completely up to you if you want to deal with it or not.
