Halo infinite is the best free to play fps multiplayer game that runs well on the steam deck (lemmy.world)

You can play halo infinite VERY competitively with joysticks and gyro too, it feels made for steamdeck controls especially with the heavy focus on (absolutely amazing) vehicle combat.

A month ago or so it was crashing really regularly on me, but now it seems to be working fine. I can easily get a steady ~50fps with the graphics all the way down. Yeah, the graphics don't look amazing on low and there are weird graphical artifacts sometimes but it is far from ugly and the core halo gameplay is just so well balanced at the moment that who cares how it looks when it plays like that.

(yeah it used to suck, it doesn't anymore)

Does Xonitic run on SteamDeck?

Hahaha yes, I tried it the other day actually.

I am kind of curious about how far one can push joysticks+gyro. Can you play a quake style game competitively? I think I could, and I bet steering the rockets with gyro feels incredible. I haven’t gotten into making some bindings yet though.

Love me some quake (xonotic is the best quake style shooter imo), love me some halo.

edit just tried out xonotic on the steamdeck with joysticks+gyro, it works fantastic, just gotta figure out a way to map all the weapon switch keybindings in a way you can actually press them quickly. I guess you only realllllyy need rockets, mortar, rails and the blaster/rocket jump gun quickly accessible.
