Forza Horizon 6 on Steam Deck
Yes, it'll run — but here's how to make it actually feel good.
Last updated:
Expected performance
FH5 ran 30–40 fps on Steam Deck with Medium settings + FSR Balanced. Based on Playground's Direct demo at lower res, FH6 should hit a similar range on the OLED model. The original LCD Deck may need Low + FSR Performance.
Suggested settings
| Setting | OLED | LCD |
|---|---|---|
| Preset | Medium | Low |
| Resolution | 1280×800 | 1152×720 |
| FSR | Balanced | Performance |
| Frame rate cap | 40 | 30 |
| Shadow Quality | Medium | Low |
Battery life
Expect ~1h 30m on OLED at 40fps cap. Drop TDP cap to 10W and use FSR Performance for over 2 hours.
Caveats
- FH6 PC may require Microsoft Store / PC Game Pass workflow — check Proton compatibility at launch.
- Online sync mode requires occasional Wi-Fi.
