Titanfall 2 is the acclaimed mech-based shooter that combines fluid parkour and intense mech warfare for a unique blend of fast-paced action and tactical gameplay.

Titanfall 2 is one of the Steam Deck’s standout titles, and these optimized settings will give you the thrill of futuristic combat wherever you go.

Titanfall® 2 Best Steam Deck Settings

Compatibility Settings
Proton Version Default
BIOS Settings
UMA Frame Buffer Size 4G

No out-of-game, pre-launch tweaking is necessary. Strap in and get ready to enjoy one of the best shooters in modern gaming!

The settings below rely on being able to allocate 4GB of the Steam Deck’s shared RAM to the GPU, so consider increasing the UMA Frame Buffer Size to 4G in the BIOS.

Recommended — Balanced Settings (Native@60fps | ~2h30m)

Titanfall 2 is absolutely beautiful on the Steam Deck. Honestly, it might be one of the best games on Valve’s portable gaming device, and the Deck’s adjustable input options make it a superior gaming experience to its home console counterparts. Having the option to plug in a mouse and keyboard is always a plus, too.

The recommended settings will get you a silky smooth 60 frames per second at native resolution, so we’ll mostly be sticking to the default configuration. It’s outside of the game and in the Deck’s performance menu where we’ll be making the changes, with our ultimate goal being to maximize battery life without sacrificing visual fidelity.

Battery-saving Settings (720p@60fps | 3h)

These settings are designed for the longest possible play time on a single charge. We’ll have to accept a few compromises to graphics quality, but don’t worry, the game will still be legible and playable. Personally, I don’t think the visual downgrade is worth the extra half hour of play time.
