[Game] ‘Starfield’ Steam Deck review in progress - "good in some parts but struggles in cities" - eviltoast

“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.”

    I think it speaks to the power of the Steam Deck that Starfield can even run at all, I certainly wasn’t expecting that.
