Doom: The Dark Ages is not Steam Deck verified as of writing this article. Learn more on whether it will be verified in the coming future, and whether it will be playable or not on the Steam Deck.

Is Doom: The Dark Ages Verified on the Steam Deck?

Not Steam Verified

Currently, Doom: The Dark Ages is not verified on the Steam Deck. Specifically the GPU requirement of at least 8GB of dedicated VRAM, as well as the forced ray tracing has made it quite doubtful that it will get verified in the future.

Possibility on Getting Verified

That said, even though the system requirements for the game are beyond what the Steam Deck can cover, optimizations on games that asked for similar requirements have made it playable in the past. Games like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which asked for similar GPU requirements, have been verified after undergoing thorough optimizations.

At best, Doom: The Dark Ages would be running on 30 FPS if it were to be verified.
