"After dozens of hours on just Steam Deck, Starfield feels good in some parts, but really struggles in the bigger cities. Turning everything to low and enabling FSR2 is basically the only way to play it right now on Valve’s handheld, and even that drops to 20fps often in the first major city (New Atlantis). The game itself can look very good on the device screen in many parts, but it is very CPU-heavy right now. This has been tested after the day one patch as well."

Yeah. I love my deck, but I'm realistic that it's not going to run Starfield lol.

My Steamdeck is crushing anything released prior to 2020, but it's chugging on Baldurs Gate 3. Barring the ability to turn the graphics settings waaaaay down, I don't see myself playing this on anything but my desktop.

Yep lol same with mine. BG3 is a little wonky in parts and I haven't reached Act 3 yet. I'm almost there, so I hope the patch has fixed it for the Deck.

I got bg3 acceptable to me and love it on steam deck. Maybe I have low standards though

You beat me to it. The Deck is great but we have to be realistic about the limits of the hardware.

It’s not like it gets to break the rules because it’s popular!
