From the patch notes:

Handheld PC improvements:

  • The game is now certified on Steam Deck and ROG Xbox Ally!

  • Global improvement of text legibility

  • Fixed multiple fog and lighting issues:

  • Overly intense effects during the Flying Manor boss fight (which also impacted some cinematics)

  • Overexposed areas in the Visages

  • Overly dark areas in the Endless Tower

  • Fixed FPS being capped at 30 on Steam Deck

  • VSync can now be properly disabled in the settings when playing on Steam Deck

  • Graphic settings are now adjusted for Steam Deck users

  • Improved first-time setup flow:

  • Controller input is now supported in installation wizards (no longer touchscreen-only)

  • External controllers now switch seamlessly with the Steam Deck controls

Does this actually work on the deck?

I got arc raiders which is verified and it's currently awful fos

That review wouldn't include the performance improvements from this brand new patch.

I played the game months ago, and found it very enjoyable. I did install an alternative ue-engine.ini file that reduced some of the particles and massively improved performance though. Without the engine tweaks it was perfectly playable but ugly.

Didn't test the latest patch, but previously I was able to run it 1080p lowest settings. Played fine but didn't look great obviously.
Didn't try handheld mode, so maybe it looks fine on the deck screen

Yeah, I admit I uninstalled it from my Deck after previous attempt. Maybe I’ll retry it.

It's best played at absurd frame rates to make sure you can hit the fairly narrow parry windows. On the deck, it can sit around 30 fps, I often find my parries get miseed. To make it worse your frames tend to drop when enemies attack. Some areas are just straight up unplayable like The Crows, which isn't even a large space.
