Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance runs very well on PC and it’s one of the best JPRGs you can play on the Steam Deck right now. Despite some great performance, the PC port doesn’t have many options to adjust and lacks proper ultrawide support with black bars in its presentation. Thankfully, this neat patch from modder Lyall fixes those issues and adds proper ultrawide support in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance with additional options.
