Typical power draw: ~21 W

💡 SteamDeckPlayable tip: Hogwarts Legacy is the most demanding game on this list. Target 30 fps on the Low preset with FSR set to Performance (native 800p is too heavy). Disable ray tracing entirely. Expect load times of 3–5 minutes and occasional hitches in Hogsmeade. A 15W TDP limit improves stability. Battery is ~1.5–2 hours.
