While it's great news that Bethesda is making an effort to make sure Starfield will run on Deck, I'd still like to recommend that most people wait for performance reports before buying and expecting a good experience.

Baldurs Gate 3 is certified playable and they did a great job making it a seamless experience but it’s obvious that the system strains in anywhere but the most sparse locations.

Yeaaaah it's pretty rough on the steam deck in my experience.

Huh I just tuned down the graphics and it is playing just fine.

Only caveat being I always play it plugged in to power
