For those of you playing on Steam Deck, Baldur’s Gate 3 now also features a native Steam Deck build!
Running natively on the platform, you should now see a better framerate, lower loading times, and smoother gameplay 🙌
The store page hasn’t updated yet, but you can see the Linux Steam depots on steamdb.
Aren’t most games on Vulkan these days?
There’s still plenty of other Windows-only APIs that games rely on.
Unfortunately not. The vast majority of games are DX12. Even DX11 is likely still more popular than Vulkan.
A lot of engines support Vulkan builds, but the default is DX. Almost every game is DX.
