Q: Can Starfield run on the Steam Deck?

A: Starfield struggles on the Steam Deck, often crashing and facing performance issues on even the lowest settings. While future AMD driver updates and Proton tweaks might improve performance, it's uncertain if it will ever run smoothly. Alternatively, you can play Starfield on Steam Deck via Xbox Cloud Gaming accessed through a browser.

Q: How does Starfield perform on the ROG Ally?

However, in specific scenarios, like boarding a ship, FPS drops can lead to crashes. The performance may improve with future AMD driver updates.

Q: Are there any workarounds to experience Starfield on handheld PCs?

A: While the game's native run on Steam Deck is subpar, you can access and play Starfield via Xbox Cloud Gaming on a browser. For ROG Ally, ensuring graphics are set low and turning off FSR can provide a playable experience. Future driver updates might offer more stable gameplay.
