I was skeptical at first and I finally gave in two weeks ago and it arrived last week.
I love my Steam Deck, this seems dumb but I actually use it to stream my ps5 and more intensive PC games. It easier to move around and pick up and put down. I’ve started to play games I bought years ago. Finished Limbo and Inside and playing Bioshock Remastered.
that’s not dumb at all, it’s a great use for it! I had planned to make mine strictly an emulation device (which it’s amazing for) until I realized how well it handled bigger titles. not perfectly by any stretch, but mostly smooth and playable.
I had never played any of the fallout games and I’ve had a blast with new Vegas and fallout 4. I’d owned them for years but just never got around to it.
if only I could stop playing bg3 for long enough to get through some more of my backlog…
I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 on my Steam Deck since release, it’s been such a great experience I can not recommend it enough, I never thought I would be able to play such a great game confortably from my bed on a “handheld” (?).
Very true, I should’ve thought more clearly about this specifics of some of these. Pretty sure it’s literally only up there because either people are trying to fix it and this constantly launching it / having it open makes it #2… or it’s just up there because it’s new and very popular
The fact the SteamDeck can play all of these at decent graphics and FPS in their full fat PC version still blows my mind
I honestly reach for it more than my Xbox or switch. it’s easy to pick up and put down. easy to charge. and stuff runs fine on it.
It’s not for everybody, but I love my deck.

How far are you? I’ve played it on my laptop but I’m concerned how well it would run act 3
Just started 2nd act and I’ve spent like 55 hours in the game.
I’m the kind of person who can’t sleep unless I open each and every crate, chest and vase there is.
That’s why being able to easily pickup the SD and play for a while is a bliss for me.
Right?? A great experience on a game that literally just released and is HUUGE
Even a theoretical Switch Pro probably couldn’t keep up 😂
Ehh… Starfield chugs on my Steam Deck to the point where the slowdowns make it practically unplayable. >.<
Yeah I wouldn’t recommend Starfield on the Deck at this point. It’s a bit too unstable to be enjoyable.

I know for a fact I dumped a good 2+ hours into it on my Deck trying to get it playable. XD
See? Hahaha, hopefully it’ll be smooth as butter in future. Here’s to hoping for ya
