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

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)

Try squad battle, it is a blast. Almost (all?) the maps have some degree of vehicle play and the variety of game modes is great. I love the idea of CTF, but in most shooters it feels unfocused and like only the 4 best players in a match are actually impacting anything. CTF in infinite is a blast, defense feels important but there is always a possibility of a maniac mongoose flag run that threads an overbearing teams defenses….

It good.
