Wonder what steam deck support will look like.

Based on the recommended specs, it likely won’t run, at least not without some serious compromises.

Since they’re locking Consoles to 30 fps I’m worried their Recommended settings are using that as baseline as well.

If that’s the case I’ll wait for some IT hero with too much free time to upload their optimisation mod to nexus 😂

It does make me wonder what awful things they’re getting that poor creation engine to do.

To be fair I remember Fallout 3 being a bit of a nightmare to play at launch too.

I’ve been meaning to upgrade but GPUs are stupid expensive where I live if you want something decent.

Ssd required? Does it use direct storage?
