While it’s great news that Bethesda is making an effort to make sure Starfield will run on Deck, I’d still like to recommend that most people wait for performance reports before buying and expecting a good experience.
I wonder how it will run, cause like Cyberpunk works on the steamdeck but the res makes it look like a different game.
Is it going to run at 30fps though? The minimum requirements for the game are pretty high, requiring 8GB of VRAM
For your information, low FPS makes it look “cinematic.” It’s targeted at 24FPS to give you a theater-like experience. 😂
Lmao
It’s good to be the most popular once in a while.
I’ll pick it up in a few years in a sale when all of the bugs are ironed out and the proved has dropped

I just don’t think the steam deck is going to be able to handle this game. Baldurs Gate 3 is certified playable and they did a great job making it a seamless experience but it’s obvious that the system strains in anywhere but the most sparse locations.
The steam deck just isn’t meant to play all the AAA next gen ray traced games and nobody should expect it to do so. It already goes further than any handheld on the market, I don’t need it to play starfield. I need it to play cult of the lamb really well. And it does. And I love it.

Someone said that valve does not want to upgrade the Steamdecks cpu regularly that way it can act as a baseline for games to target.
I kind of like this approach. I think so many devs focus on making everything bleeding edge when most of us would be happy playing with low settings.
Maybe the steamdeck will lead to further optimizations to these games down the line and maybe games that are early in development will try to target the steamdeck for the minimum spec.
Starfield and bg3 were too far along in development when steamdeck game out for them to optimize for it.
I’ll be happy to see how it runs though.

Baldurs Gate 3 on Steam Deck is basically turning electricity into heat with some frames produced as a side effect :)

Unless it’s poorly optimized, Starfield should be nowhere near as demanding as Baldurs Gate. Do we know what the requirements are yet?

Hard disagree with this. Both of these games are large zone, systems driven games which makes them more demanding on the CPU than many games out there. Starfield will probably a little more GPU demanding than Baldur’s Gate 3 due to dynamic lighting systems and draw distance.

Yeaaaah it's pretty rough on the steam deck in my experience.

Huh I just tuned down the graphics and it is playing just fine.
Only caveat being I always play it plugged in to power

I have 140 hours on steam deck for BG3. I’m having a blast.
