Best settings in Sea of Stars for Steam Deck

The Steam Deck is powerful enough to play games like Sea of Stars, as it isn't based on ultra-realistic ray-traced graphics most modern AAA titles are known for. Instead, the focus is on the core narrative.

This allows gamers on the Valve handheld to play the title at the highest settings while ensuring maximum battery life and a high frame rate. Read on to know the right combination of the settings for a 60 FPS experience and long battery life.
