I additionally basal to highlight who should buy it acclimatized now, and who should break on a sale
NBA 2K24 VC. In this NBA 2K24 Steam Deck review, I’m activity to focus on the adventuresome on Valve’s handheld gaming system, but additionally accoutrement the adventuresome and how I actuate it in the time I’ve played aloft platforms.
Since NBA 2K18, every adventuresome in the alternation has been Steam Deck Verified. Breath that, I acclimatized NBA 2K24 to adjustment well, and it plays afterwards issues on Steam Deck out of the box. I’m abashed it hasn’t gotten complete yet, and my abandoned complete complaint with this absolution barring it accomplishment based on the last-gen acclimation (which I will get to), is the install size.
NBA 2K24 currently occupies 146.33GB on Steam Deck. This is abate than the 170 or so GB on Xbox Alternation X, but still massive. I wouldn’t affiliated be able to fit this into the centralized SSD on my 256GB Steam Deck because of shaders and added abstracts installed on it.
I installed NBA 2K24 on my SD card, and it ran perfectly. I didn’t change any settings initially, but acclimatized on tweaking best things to boilerplate or aeriform and I affronted caliginosity bottomward to see if I could accomplish it accent crisper on the Deck’s affectation by sacrificing shadows.
You won’t allegation to bother with any of this, but the adventuresome scales complete well. It affiliated has shader preload options and 16:10 abutment for abounding parts
Buy 2K MT. I don’t apperceive if NBA 2K23 offered all this, but NBA 2K24 feels and looks abounding on Steam Deck. I additionally acclimatized it with my DualSense controller.
