Reviews of starfield on steamdeck: probably not the best experience maybe stick to more powerful devices

My thoughts exactly.

I absolutely love my Steam Deck. But playing even Cyberpunk on it made me run back to my PC.

I wonder how many steamdecks are owned by people who dont have another option for a gaming device that supports games like Cyberpunk and Starfield.

My lil bro is playing starfield on the steamdeck rn since he can’t play it on his main PC tbf.

Yea that’s might be it, it is the case for me at least. Cyberpunk 2.0 and BG runs quite okay for me on Steam deck, so I am not compelled to update my PC yet.

Of course on PC it would always be much better, but I am holding on to setup a home office setup in my apartment first and that might not happen soon.

I wonder if hours spent playing using Remote Play on the Deck counts towards the total.

While I prefer Sunrise/Moonlight, playing Starfield using streaming off your main gaming PC is a pretty good experience!

Moonlight is unreasonably capable. I initially dismissed it when I had shoddy performance between a wireless desktop and the steam deck. Then I set up tailscale and tried it outside the home during a lunch break, it was impossibly smooth. I thought maybe it was something to do with the fiber at my work. So I tried it at a friend’s place in the next town over with the same ISP, impossibly smooth.

Now I’m in the process of overhauling my home network to figure out why it’s better outside my home.

I’ve had the same experience with steam remote play, it works flawlessly outside my house, even off a hotspot from my phone! but in my house it’s dog water, feels more like playing a slideshow built for the Gameboy advance

It’s probably a result of wireless interference somewhere between the deck and the desktop. I also had a really bad experience with remote play and sunlight/moonlight before I hardwired my desktop to the router via an Ethernet cable. Just making that one part of the chain wired completely solved my issues.

Hmm, because that makes me wonder if they also count it as a play for the host machine.

Also, how common is steamlink use? Would love to see how much it’s utilised on the deck/steam in general. I tried it myself but unless your host is connected over Ethernet it’s a bit on the slow side.
