How Do You Optimize Pax Autocratica for Steam Deck?

Valve Playable Certified

Recommended Deck Settings

  • Resolution: 1280 × 800 (Native)
  • Framerate Limit: 45 FPS (90Hz on OLED)
  • Graphics Preset: Medium (Textures High, Shadows Low)
  • FSR Scaling: Quality (Sharpness 0.6)

Critical Crash Fix on Steam Deck

⚠️ Disable “Frame Generation”: In the current Early Access build (v0.1.x), toggling AMD/FSR Frame Generation on Linux / SteamOS causes an immediate fatal crash on launch.

If the game crashes on startup, reset graphics via launch options by adding: -safe-mode in Steam Properties.

Controls Tip: Assign the right back-grip (R4) to Capture Rounds for seamless instant firing during combat.

What Is the Status of Console Releases (PS5 & Xbox)?

Will Pax Autocratica come to Xbox Game Pass or PS Plus?

Multiverse has confirmed that the team is exclusively focusing on the PC Early Access build for the immediate 2-year development window. Console discussions will take place closer to the 1.0 milestone.
