why no infos for steam deck support?

why no infos for steam deck support on the starfield page?

is bethester the ,,nothing is better than no,, type?

[SylenThunder]

Curious. Does the Steam Deck even come close to the minimum hardawre spec for the game?

Note that I didn't take the time to bother looking up the specs for the Steam deck when posting this.

Because anyone with a brain can understand that the Steam Deck isn't a very powerful machine, and there is no way Starfield would run on it at any acceptable resolution and/or framerate.

dude the steam deck is a potato pc i dunno why you expect to play it on that

nobody is put out any "info" for you as there's nothing to put out

[Bombast]

I seem to recall people saying Starfield hasn't been compiled for Linux and proton seems to be hit or miss for running it. Likely Bethesda didn't bother making a deck/Linux release. Whether that's due to laziness, sloppiness, or technical limitations I don't know.

The Deck can run a surprising amount of games, likely in part because of the reduced display requirements. It wouldn't surprise me if it could handle Starfield requirements wise with a little goosing and love.

It plays ok. In big cities it has some slowdown. Overall it is really awesome to be able to play it on the hand held though.

Not happening. But hey you can get Cyberpunk 2077 running at 45FPS.

Playable, but may require some tweaking to run smooth as butter.

All of this is pointless. The game runs.

Just because it can run, doesn't mean it is supported. There are certain standards that have to be met.

It runs just fine on my old Acer laptop with an i7-7700 and a 1070 as long as I don't expect higher than 30FPS on average.

Verily. And between 40 FPS to 35 FPS at that. Not all to shabby.
Protip: Use Steam Deck Essentials[www.nexusmods.com] for even better performance.

you're sitting there saying it isn't supported because the game is for windows. You clearly don't know anything about the Steam Deck.
