Mouse P.I. For Hire targets 40 FPS on Steam Deck — what to expect from performance

Specifications indicate 800p/40 FPS on Steam Deck for Mouse P.I. For Hire, with comparisons to Switch 2 and Xbox, arriving on April 16th.

Estimated performance on Steam Deck

Developer Fumi Games has revealed performance targets for Mouse P.I. For Hire, a first-person shooter featuring rubber-hose animation style and influences from classic Mickey Mouse-era cartoons, boasting an expressive cast.

Separate spreadsheets were published for PC and consoles, including a line dedicated to the Steam Deck. According to the estimates, the Deck should run at 800p and 40 FPS by default. With the screen set to 80 Hz, the gameplay should remain fluid; if there is no upscaling, the image promises to look very sharp.

Size, comparison, and technical curiosities

The game size is indicated at 11 GB, smaller than other listed consoles, which aligns with the size registered on PC.

Switch 2 and other platforms

Estimates for the Switch 2 indicate 900p and 60 FPS in performance mode. As the handheld is not as powerful as the Deck, there may be a balance between quality and performance with adjustments. The note about the Quality Mode of the Switch 2 handheld marking 1260p appears to be an error, as the screen is 1080p.

Xbox Ally and Ally X

There are also options for Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X; the Ally X is significantly more powerful, but the Ally appears at 720p/60 FPS when compared to the Deck, which may vary depending on the device.

Release date and how to purchase

Mouse P.I. For Hire can be pre-ordered ahead of its April 16th release.

In summary, the information points to a fluid experience on the Steam Deck, with possibilities for adjustments that help balance quality and performance.
