It's a guy playing the beginning of the game, it's filmed in vertical with the phone :) Will most likely be taken down very soon.

I didn't watch the intro, just skimmed through the gameplay parts, looks really good.

I'm in a similar situation. I want to see how (if?) it runs on a steam deck before I decide where to buy it. Otherwise I'd have already pre-ordered it.

Same boat here. I've been mad interested in Starfield since it was announced, but my Deck is now my primary gaming device. I need to make sure it can be modded to a stable 30FPS before I buy it.

I don't even get a stable 30fps playing BG3, so I am kind of pessimistic that Starfield will run on the deck. I hope so, but I'll play it on the Xbox if I have to.

Baldur's Gate isn't a Bethesda title. Bethesda games are historically some of the most moddable there are, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

Personally I'm waiting to see if it'll run on the Deck as my excuse to buy one lol

Fallout 76 runs at 45ish fps, I don't think Starfield will get a clean 30fps. Maybe the Rog Ally.

I'm guessing if it ran well on Steam Deck they would have already announced that. Unless Microsoft told them not to.

I'm sort of in the same thought process, especially since they were asked and they gave a "we'll discuss that later" style response. I have an Xbox for my kids and I pay for whichever version of gamepass that lets you stream games, so push comes to shove I can do that.
