Civilization VIII

I dunno how they managed it, but the game seems to run amazing on Deck.

The UI is fully controller optimised and fits well on the onboard display and I was getting an almost locked 90 FPS using the medium preset.

Obviously need to see how it holds up as the game progresses but it's looking really good.

This is the experience I missed from Civilization VI on Steam Deck after playing the Switch port.

Some benchmark numbers, all done at Medium preset on 800p internal display, standard power settings:

Approximately: Average: 52 FPS, 90th Percentile 37 FPS, 99th Percentile: 25 FPS
