Will Steamdeck be able to play FFXI on the go?

[ltsegarra]

Wondering if Steamdeck will be able to play FFXI Online on the go. If so, I might re-activate my FFXI account for funzies.

Check
1. How demanding the game is
2. Whether it runs on Proton/Linux
3. How you're gonna connect to the internet on-the-go

FFXI is pretty old, so I would be surprised if it couldn't run. I mean even the Nintendo Switch can run FFX and FFXII and I would expect the Steam Deck to be a bit more powerful...

Point's two and three would be the important ones methinks.

Likely yes.

We shouldn't really compare performances of how switch games run compared to what it'd be like on the Deck though. Even though the switch runs on really underpowered hardware a lot of devs put in A LOT of effort to optimise their games to run what is essentially a potato in today's standards.
