I am thinking of giving steamdeck lcd to my son so he can play Fortnite while away. we have som xbox series controlers around so controls are not an issue (I tried playing using steamdeck controls and it was difficult for this kind of game, more so for a kid) , but I am not sure how stable the game through xcloud is and what’s the amount of lag, how often it disconnects, that type of thing. he will be on wifi, but I have my doubts. he is 10 so doesnt need ultra-competitive play performance

any experience shared is welcome

    For my experience (not on steam Deck) it’s actually playable if you have good internet. One downside is that sometimes you need to wait on the queue if a lot of people is trying to play

    I just got my OLED with wifi 6e and hooked it up to the 6ghz band and xcloud was amazing. I didn’t feel like there was any lag, there was some slight artifacting that would change in quality slightly, but I was able to kill people.

    I haven’t tried xcloud on the oled but it was unuseable for me on the og steam deck. It works wonderfully on the rog ally though.
