The Steam Deck doesn't have the split screen co-op that Microsoft is insisting the series S have with the game.

The developers have disabled split-screen co-op on the handheld, and while gamers have found a workaround, it does seem to negatively impact game performance. > >
This makes sense.
FPS take a big dip on my machine whenever we add the second player. In some cases the frame rate is a bit shit but we still keep playing because the game is that good.
Hopefully it will get some improvements soon though.
Huh I wonder if the steam deck has any two+ player games. I'm gonna go ask at the steamdeck community.
I mean, its just a handheld pc. Think of any pc game with splitscreen and boom theres one (as long as it works in proton). You can connect bluetooth controllers and dock it to a tv too, so your're not akwardly playing on one handheld screen.
