BirSaNN Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Valve's handheld was briefly touched on in a recent Xcast episode. While speaking on Kinda Funny's Xcast podcast, Starfield lead Todd Howard left the door open on the question of Steam Deck compatibility. The raw numbers of Starfield's minimum system requirements, however, don't paint a rosy picture. While going over Starfield's accessibility features, Howard touched on its large font mode and how that can be useful on handhelds, though he also clarified that he had game streaming in mind here. With mention of handhelds, Xcast co-host Mike Howard asked about Steam Deck support, with the Bethesda veteran replying, "We'll talk about that later down the road." Hardly conclusive, but the lack of an outright "no" is probably the best bit of news we've got when it comes to Deckfield. It's a faint glimmer of hope in the face of Starfield's beefy minimum system requirements, requirements even the Deck's lower resolution demands might not be able to elide.

PanzerRush Starfield minimum system requirements Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel Core i7-6800K Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 5700, NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti Storage: 125 GB available space Additional Notes: SSD Required Those minimum specs are likely pointing to 1080p resolution, low graphics, 30fps—at least that's what I'd expect of minimum requirements in 2023. With that in mind, the Deck has some wiggle room on the graphics card front: it's not a match for the 1070 Ti or 5700, but it's also aiming for a more forgiving 800p (potentially 720p) resolution. link: https://www.pcgamer.com/it-doesnt-look-good-for-starfield-on-steam-deck-but-todd-howard-isnt-writing-it-off-well-talk-about-that-down-the-road/ BirSaNNZombie ٭゛ ٭ ゛ ٭ ゛ ٭ ゛ ٭゛ SENIOR-OWNER - STREETZM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
