"Doom: Dark Ages" has now been certified by Steam Deck. Considering that id Software has always released shooting games that are not only stunning in graphics, but also extremely well optimized, it is surprising that this took so long.id Software has also created some miracles in handheld porting, the most famous of which is the Switch version of "Doom: Eternal" launched in 2020.

It's worth mentioning that "Doom: Dark Ages" is the first "Doom" game to fully and continuously support ray tracing, which made it less suitable for handheld consoles at launch.While it runs well on most PC hardware, delivering decent frame rates even on budget gaming laptops, the Steam Deck struggles to meet its minimum hardware requirements, resulting in disappointing performance.

But apparently, all that has changed.The recent 2.2 update for Doom: Dark Ages introduces a number of handheld-centric optimizations and features that enhance the gaming experience.This includes general performance improvements and advanced optimization settings for handheld devices, as well as better sound and visual effects when gaming on mobile devices.

The update also adds handheld-specific auto-detection capabilities, as well as hardware specifications for numerous devices including the Steam Deck and the newly released Xbox Ally X.Since id Software and its publisher Bethesda are both owned by Microsoft, foreign media PC Gamer suspects that "Doom: Dark Age" received Steam Deck certification and a series of mobile optimizations in order to catch up with the release of Microsoft's first Xbox handheld console, Xbox Ally X.

The YouTube channel Deck Wizard tested "Doom: Dark Age" on the Steam Deck OLED, which supports AMD FSR 3.1 and Intel XeSS 2.0 technology.
