It's not an outright 'no,' but I'm not sure the Deck can fudge Starfield's beefy minimum system specs.

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 resolution.

However, while the Deck's 16 GB of RAM might sound like a match on paper, that pool is shared between the rest of the system and the GPU, instead of having discrete RAM and VRAM, so that's a distinct deficit. Equally problematic are those six core, twelve thread CPUs.

That's not to mention the 125 GB of SSD space suggested, which immediately takes an unmodified base-model Deck off the table. With all that in mind, I'm fairly confident you could get Starfieldon the Steam Deck, but unless Bethesda do have Deck-specific plans in mind"later down the road," I don't think it'll ever be a desirable platform to enjoy the upcoming space epic on.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
