All I have had before this is a playstation and I’m overwhelmed. I buy most of my AAA Games on PS5.

I’m looking for some awesome games on sale right now that run great on the Steam Deck.

    Install Chiaki & play all your PS5 AAA’s on the Deck, it’ll give you the handheld experience without the cost of duplication & much better/faster than the Steam duplicates with the highest quality & fps.

    That’s how I now mostly use my deck - older PC games - Deck anything new - PS5 it’s saving me a fortune on duplication & importantly internal storage.

      Do you have any tips for how to make this work well? Does it entirely have to do with a strong internet connection? I tried this with Baldur’s Gate 3 and unfortunately the performance was lagging and every once in awhile I would get a random white frame appear. The console was in a different room from where I was but that doesn’t seem like it should make a difference.

        I read somewhere that chiaki4deck runs better. Their official install guide has some settings to change for optimal quality. Seems to work well for me

          Yup, when I say Chiaki I’m saying Chiaki4 also. I didn’t do anything other than that the information guide said. I’ve never tried anywhere other than at home, I play in the living room, network is all wired apart from Deck which uses its WiFi. The WiFi on my Deck has always been shit, always constantly dropping off from the Steam system - after a long time I found a fix, switch on developer options & there’s a WiFi option (can’t remember it offhand) but you turn it to the opposite of what it is by default so on or off.

          That may be why my Chiaki works flawlessly - I have no idea.

      Can you explain this cost of duplication? I’ve thought about this. If I buy Witcher 3 on Steam, is it a better experience than just streaming it from my PS5 with Chiaki?

        Not for me, I have Witcher on PS5 & Deck - everything on PS5 via Chiaki is perfect, EVERY game I’ve duplicated has been rubbish in comparison - there is one exception, “Dying Light” it plays excellently with no stuttering (that I’ve found so far at least) Cost? The first games I bought were HZD, Days Gone & later GOW (all free on PS5) they cost an additional £150 & they played - but not very well. CryoUtilities2 has helped run them better for me now though.
