Fans enjoying Elden Ring on their new Steam Decks have been experiencing certain performance issues that one insider says should see a fix coming this week. Valve's new portable device allows people to easily access Steam's vast number of PC games. The Steam Deck looks to take a piece of the portable market long dominated by Nintendo and make PC gaming more accessible for the masses. Players have been enjoying their new portable gaming device, which also happened to launch on the same day as one of this year's most anticipated games, Elden Ring.

Elden Ring is the latest game developed by Dark Souls and Bloodborne's developer FromSoftware, and it has taken the world by storm after releasing on Friday. Anticipation for the action RPG was so high some businesses around the world even gave workers the day off for Elden Ring. With Elden Ring and the Steam Deck set to release on February 25th, some were curious how well the game would perform on Valve's new portable gaming device. Steam officially verified Elden Ring's compatibility and optimization for the Steam Deck before launch, but players have encountered stuttering issues with the Steam Deck's version of the game. Still, it doesn't sound like the issue will be a long-term one.
