Recommended — Quality Settings (Native@30fps | ~2h30m)

If you're a stickler for jaw-dropping visuals, the "Quality" setting is what you should go with. This configuration delivers the best possible visuals while maintaining a playable framerate. Pushing most settings to the high end, the Steam Deck impressively manages to maintain a mostly stable 30 fps experience, with only occasional dips. The visual disparity between this configuration and the "Balanced" one is striking, so if graphics are at the top of your list, look no further than these settings.

Balanced Settings (Native@40fps | ~2h30m)

In the "Balanced" configuration, we've tailored the settings to strike a sweet spot between visual quality and performance. Most options are set at mid to high levels, ensuring that you can relish in clean and crisp visuals that do justice to Resident Evil 4 Remake's detailed world. While the Steam Deck can't quite reach the coveted 60 fps mark, setting a cap at 40 fps provides a stable and decently smooth gaming experience that's more than enjoyable. Just keep in mind that the battery life hovers around 2 hours and 30 minutes on a full charge, which is decent for shorter gaming sessions on the go. For lengthier adventures, it's wise to have an electric port nearby to keep the terror going uninterrupted.
