Starfield is getting something of a mixed reception by YouTubers testing it on the Steam Deck because even the lowest settings aren't low enough in some areas.

I think what is shocking is how poorly Starfield performs in general.
Game performance is not great in general on any GPU.
And there appear to be no bottlenecks or performance issues with CPU to blame performance on.

The game isnt that great looking, very last gen and even some last gen games looked better.
So it sure is perplexing that the FPS is so crappy.

I would rather play a game like Starfield on a large display.

I have had no problems running Starfield on my Steam Deck (Model 3) on low settings. In fact, the battery life is great. That being said, Starfield is not yet Steam Deck certified and I definitely prefer to play a game like Starfield on my large screen PC, which also runs Starfield fine.

Modders will fix some minor issues with Starfield's PC performance as usual with Bethesda games, but they will also bring so much content and improvements to an Starfield once it is older that will make the game last for decades to come. 🙅‍♂️
