Key facts
- GRPort serves as a launcher for PC versions of Gravity Rush Remastered and Gravity Rush 2, and the writer tested it on the Steam Deck.
- The writer says Gravity Rush Remastered runs decently on Steam Deck and can hit 60 FPS often, but drops occur when using gravity to fling across town.

- The writer says both games default to PlayStation controller icons in GRPort but can be changed to Xbox icons in the launcher.
Steam Deck HQ tested GRPort, a launcher for the PC versions of Gravity Rush Remastered and Gravity Rush 2, on Steam Deck handheld on Nov. 13, 2026.
The outlet said qnfn and Claude AI created GRPort. It runs on native CPU execution with emulated GPU rendering, a hybrid that falls between a true recompilation or PC port and emulation. A recompilation rebuilds a game’s code for a new platform, while emulation imitates one system on another, and the writer said GRPort could exceed emulation through a native renderer. The writer said GRPort puts both games under one launcher and includes their own achievements.
The writer said they dumped purchased copies of both games from a PS4, then set up GRPort by putting the files in one place. The launcher received an update adding two Steam Deck settings presets, and the writer said those presets plus the combined launcher led them to try the project.
Steam Deck HQ said Gravity Rush Remastered runs decently on the Steam Deck and often reaches 60 FPS, though performance drops when the player uses gravity to fling across town. The outlet described performance as rough at times yet still playable on Valve’s handheld. For Gravity Rush Remastered, the writer said the Performance preset barely improved frame rate while cutting visual quality, and players might still face occasional frame drops. The writer recommends using the quality versions of both games rather than the performance presets.
On the Steam Deck, Gravity Rush 2 holds 30 FPS well at both presets but cannot maintain 60 FPS. Steam Deck HQ said the sequel is playable with occasional stutters, like its predecessor, and the writer would stay at 30 FPS.
Steam Deck HQ said both games start with PlayStation controller icons in GRPort, though players can switch them to Xbox icons, which improves play on Steam Deck. Despite the compromises, the outlet said experiencing classics this way is cool and hopes the project gets better over time.
