Starfield is set to release on September 6th and there’s obviously a lot of excitement around it but will it work on Valve’s Steam Deck? That’s not currently clear.
In case you are wondering, the article has nothing more than what the title says.
And I think this is just a soundbite from a one-off question during an interview about many other things. It’s perfectly understandable that he wouldn’t answer a random question directly if he didn’t know the answer or have an approved response.
I read this as “We’ll let the community fix it.”
That’s just Bethesda’s motto really. I don’t expect starfield to run well on the deck sadly, hell I don’t even expect it to run well on my desktop lol.
Ah the old Bethesda Experience.
Like always.
Right, cause you can trust Todd and Bethesda. Honestly, their steady decline has turned me from a Bethesda fan into a real cynic. The cheap, fall apart merch from Fallout 4 and 76, paid mods, the utter mess and voracious monetization of 76, the treadmill of Skyrim releases, forcing their own broken launcher onto people and then decommissioning it, and that is saying nothing of the bugs and jank people have just come to expect. I was glued to my computer when Fallout 4 was announced, but Starfield was barely a blip for me, and the little I have seen is thoroughly unimpressive. Regardless of how it does, though, I’m sure plenty of folks will be lining up in 2032 for ES6: Skyrim 2 or whatever they come up with.
I don’t buy anything except indie games anymore. Sad but every mainstream video game studio is trying to fuck their own consumers now in their own special ways.
Not EVERY mainstream studio, just mostly the biggest names in the west. Capcom is still slaying it with Monster Hunter, Devil May Cry, Dragon’s Dogma, Street Fighter etc
Doesn’t even get me started on Kojima or Itsuno or Ueda or Miyazaki or Takahashi’s games
I’ve seen very little about Starfield other than some supposed accomplishments with its environment systems. The very minuscule amount of gameplay reminds me of Outer Worlds, but larger.
It’s something I could be interested in, but as it stands I’m pretty much on the same page as you are - the name Bethesda just doesn’t hold the same weight it used to. I personally wasn’t too interested in FO4 and only just got around to starting it and it hasn’t grasped me. It’ll be interesting to see how Starfield performs

@Whiskeyomega This strikes me as we are focusing on PC(IE Microsoft Windows) gaming and supporting the XBox. We might come back to making sure it can run on other platforms later…or let Valve do it with their proton hocus pocus. In the meantime you can also experience with Xbox Cloud gaming…blah blah blah.
I don’t expect it to. It would be really nice though.
i.e. never.
Fallout 4 and Skyrim work fine out of the box, probably the older games too. No reason to think why Starfield would be any different other than hardware requirements.
There’s a vid on the steam community, guy got it to work installed on the SteamDeck mSD. Required a bunch of workarounds but it got like 30 fps.
