Master RPCS3 Steam Deck Compatibility Tracker
Note: it seems i'm one of the only ones who's actively testing these games and i got tired of finding and resurrecting 1-2 year old threads so i'm making this one as a standalone. all of these games i have and have tested personally
I'm in the process of testing a bunch of games via rpcs3 on sd. it's worth letting everyone know of my findings as this is the sort of stuff i was searching for myself when starting out. a couple of notes:
- i'm using stock rpcs3 settings. 100% rendering. no mods or other stuff like that. the only exception would be if there's a game i'm fairly certain will run with certain tweaks (like enable write color buffer), then i'll check it and will mention it
- i have cryoutilities installed on the sd with all recommended settings (including 4gb vram)
- games tested are a mix of isos and psn titles. if there was a problem with one version, i note it and tried another version
- every game before play was patched with whatever latest official game patches the games have available. every one, i'm big on this...
- if i say "flawless", i mean it runs spectacularly with at or near 60fps (or 30fps if the game is locked to that) and no crashes/issues to speak of
- i'll update this post as i go along
50 Cent Blood on the Sand - runs great. mostly 55-60fps but dips to 35-40 sometimes
After Burner Climax - flawless emulation
Armored Core 4 - runs great but the mech skins don't seem to be rendering properly. 100% playable though
Army of Two - runs great locked 30fps. Have to enable write color buffer or the highlights are blown out
Bayonetta - runs great. 50-60fps
Bodycount - nope - loads just fine, but crashes 100% of the time after taking 2 steps forward. weird, because i see videos online of this playing on SD via rpcs3
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare - oh man this is the most frustrating game i've tested. it actually runs flawlessly, 60fps, until it suddenly doesn't and drops down to like 9 fps (yeah). and not in combat mind you, just when walking around. there's not a single other game that i've tested that has such wild fps swings. combat as i said is perfectly fine, 50-60fps (mostly), but it's moving around the environment before and after that give the engine fits. still playable and beatable, but man...
Crazy Taxi - flawless
Dante's Inferno - great, 30fps throughout. Beautiful game
The Darkness - flawless. one of my all time favorite games fully playable here start to finish is a real treat
Darkstalkers Resurrection - flawless
Daytona USA - flawless
Demon's Souls - runs great. occasional dip here and there. have to enable write color buffer to overcome black screen
Devil May Cry HD Collection - runs great
Dead or Alive 5 Last Round - runs great but it's not locked at 60fps unfortunately. Dips to 45 or so in matches
Dead Space - great, 30fps throughout
Ducktales Remastered - flawless. better than the steam version, actually
F.E.A.R. - flawless. locked 30fps. another all time favorite and probably the most terrifying game i have ever played. great stuff
Fighting Vipers - flawless. locked 60fps
Fight Night Round 3 - not good. it runs and it plays, but it doesn't render any faces lol
Fight Night Round 4 - playable. it's mostly at 30fps or so it says, but everything just
feels sluggish all around. i don't remember if this was the case with the og and i'm too lazy to dust off my ps3 to try it. you can certainly play it, but it's just...slow, despite what the frame indicator says
Fight Night Champions - same as fnr4 but a touch worse. you have to disable audio commentary because it's a mess, and the game, while saying it's 25-30fps, just is sluggish. real disappointment. i loved this game though so for me it's still playable despite serious issues. ymmv
God of War - flawless. Locked 60fps
God of War 2 - flawless. Locked 60fps
God of War Chains of Olympus - flawless. Locked 60fps
God of War Ghost of Sparta - flawless. Locked 60fps
God of War 3 - aaaaand here's where it all falls apart. Loads fine but the framerates are unplayable. 10-15fps
Godzilla - great to flawless. haven't played too much (maybe 30 min), but it's locked 30fps
Goldeneye 007 Reloaded - runs great. fps fluctuates between 40-60fps (mostly on the upper end) but definitely works well
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas - great, 30fps throughout
Haze - nope - doesn't get past rendering SPUs. again, i see videos of this running, so idk what's going on
Ico & Shadow of the Colossus - not playable. both are a 10-15fps slideshow mess
LittleBigPlanet - runs well. pretty much 30fps throughout. definitely playable. this is GOTY edition
LittleBigPlanet 2 - no good. stuttering mess 10-15fps at most. this is the "special edition"
LittleBigPlanet 3 - no good. the good news is that somehow it runs better than lbp2. the bad news is that it's still like 18fps and unplayable. On top of all that, one of these 3 games literally installs bloatware. Suddenly my rpcs3 has some garbage sack boy PS move game and some modnation racers demo. Total BS
Lollipop Chainsaw - flawless. locked 30fps. some report audio lag but i haven't seen that
MGS HD Collection - flawless now. had a ton of issues before but idk man all 3 are solid 60fps these days with snake eater maybe dipping to 45-55 sometimes (but as i recall, it did this on my actual ps3 as well...)
Motorstorm - playable. a lot of maps run at a solid 30fps too. huge difference from when i tested this a year ago. still has dips into the mid 20s at times but it's a lot of fun. had to enable write color buffer in order to get it to render
Motorstorm Pacific Rift - worse than motorstorm unfortunately. this one rides in the upper teens consistently and occasionally pops to mid 20s. not very playable
NBA Jam On Fire Edition - flawless BUT you have to limit fps to 60 in rpcs3 or it runs at like 600fps lol. what a great game this was
Odin Sphere - flawless. locked 60fps. pretty game
Outrun Online Arcade - flawless
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection - flawless
Soul Calibur IV - flawless
Soul Calibur V - flawless
Street Fighter x Tekken - flawless
Super Stardust HD - flawless
Ratchet and Clank Collection - flawless
Resident Evil 0 - flawless. locked 30fps
Resident Evil 4 HD - flawless. locked 30fps. THIS is the version to get if you have the means... IYKYK
Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition - great. 30fps 95% of the time. i had to enable write color buffer at first
Resident Evil 6 - 100% playable but has this weird stuttering that doesn't seem related to frame rate. i actually beat this on here, so it's definitely playable, but it has some frame hitch issues that are annoying and don't clear up with shader compilation. fps is mostly 28-30 but dips into the teens at times. for this i'd say get the steam version when on sale
Resident Evil Code Veronica X - flawless. locked 30fps
Resident Evil HD Remaster - flawless. locked 30fps
Silent Hill HD Collection - runs great. had some trouble with compiling shaders on silent hill 3 but after wiping the cache and restarting it worked itself out
Skate 3 - runs great. 50-60fps
Sly Cooper Thieves in Time - flawless
Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection - flawless. locked 60fps
Tekken 6 - flawless locked 60fps
Tekken Tag Tournament HD - runs great. would be flawless as it runs 60fps 98% of a match but an occasional punch or kick drops it to 45fps for a second. no more, no less, just 45fps. so weird
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - runs great. i've read reports this isn't working well but it's a locked 60fps for me. for a couple of nights it loaded to a white screen but after doing literally nothing it started working properly again
Twisted Metal - not playable. framerates in teens
Ultra Street Fighter IV (ISO version. for some reason the psn version hangs at "now loading") - flawless. locked 60fps
Uncharted - not playable. loads fine but framerates are in the teens. cutscenes are all 60fps though
Uncharted 2 - not playable same as above. framerates in teens
Virtua Fighter 2 - flawless. i know this is a hall of fame game but ouch my eyes
Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown - flawless. now THIS is more like it. gorgeous. locked 60fps
Virtua Tennis 4 - flawless
Wipeout HD - runs great. fps is all over the place for the first few games but after the shaders do their thing it's a pretty consistent 50-60fps. EDIT: actually, i'm downgrading this to just runs ok. playing it right now and the framerates are still all over the place from 30 to 60fps after playing every day for 3 nights. just to wildly inconsistent. i know it's the shaders, but still.
