Best Fallout London graphics settings for Steam Deck
Fallout London isn't officially supported on the Steam Deck. However, with some workarounds, you can get the mod up and running on the handheld console. You can easily play the post-apocalyptic game natively on this device, given it's not so demanding on rendering hardware. However, some settings compromises are mandatory for a decent framerate.
We have outlined the ideal graphics options for the best experience on Valve's handheld keeping a stable 60 FPS gameplay in mind. Given that the game is optimized well on PC, you can easily expect such performance on the Deck.
Fallout London graphics settings for Steam Deck
The Steam Deck can easily play Fallout London at its native resolution of 1280 x 800. The game doesn't support frame generation or upscaling technologies like FSR, which means we'll have to rely on compromises to visual quality to hit a consistent framerate.
We recommend a mix of Ultra, Medium, and Low settings for a balanced experience. This combination allows a consistent 60 FPS experience while maintaining a decent visual quality.
Set Texture quality to Ultra since it doesn't impact framerates. Shadows and god rays take a massive toll on performance, so set it to Medium or Low. Crank down the other options that aren't that important, so you can set it to High without losing big time on performance.

The Steam Deck isn't the fanciest piece of hardware out there. It can't pump out high framerates in most new AAA-grade video games. The console's CPU and GPU are a bit dated and can't handle the requirements of the latest titles.
However, Fallout London is a bit different. It's built on Fallout 4 next-gen and isn't all that demanding on hardware. With the above settings combination applied, you can maintain a stable 60 FPS on the Steam Deck without any issues. The visuals might not look the best but it's enough given the portable experience.
