eXputer: "With Steam Deck's popularity and affordability being second to none, it's about time it receives native Game Pass to expand its depth."
God of War Ragnarok gets an official release date on the Steam Store, but Steam Deck fans are left uncertain about its fate on the handheld.
I don't see it running any good on the steamdeck but maybe if they introduce enough options to lower the settings it might run semi decent.
Its literally a PS4 game, and likely will be able to lower settings even lower than that.
Assume low and medium settings, FSR2 Quality mode 720p, and an unstable 45fps or a stable 40fps like any other PS4 era port (Uncharted 4 for example). It'll be fine on the Deck if it's your only option
Amplitude beat me to it. I'd like to add that games like returnal and ratchet and clank rift apart run on the deck and those are actual ps5 games.
It should sense the games were made for hardware 12 years ago
Do not forget your precious god of war was made for the ps4 console first a console wayyy weaker than the steamdeck.
Most games listed as playable are only that way due to needing to use the on-screen keyboard or some adjacent thing.
I bet you it might be down to the stupid psn crap were it needs the server handshake or some bs for the trophies to work.
Steam Deck officially supports a massive amount of games, easily providing players more choice than what is available on the Nintendo Switch.
It's much larger than that, if you factor emulation and how easy it is to run pretty much any "unsupported" game on the Deck using Bottles.
It's insane how most games I've thrown at it have worked with little to no effort on my part, some of my games run better on Linux than Windows.
Even without emulation, it’s massively broader than switch. This is so obvious I’m surprised it’s merited an article.
You'll enjoy it, I only got the 512GB model because I wasn't sure if I'd like it, I should have bought the 1TB model, but I guess I can add in a 2TB drive when SSD prices relax again.
I actually played Heroes of Might and Magic 3 on it a few days ago.
As the latest client update rolls out for Steam Remote, it appears Steam Deck users may not be able to reap the benefits just yet. The client update in question has added support for full HDR streaming from a Windows PC using Nvidia or AMD hardware acceleration to another Windows PC or Mac with an HDR display. However, Steam Deck users are struggling to send HDR from their PC to their device.
Why not mobile has its own gamepass app though mostly streaming.
Important note this is only giving users access to cloud streaming games not full fat installation of PC versions.
Obviously if Microsoft were to figure out a way to offer uwp apps or translate to run on native steamdeck it's preferable but for the moment it's at least an option
why?
steam deck aint made by MS.
I had to buy a 2tb m 2 drive from AliExpress and dual boot windows from it to get Gamepass native. Would be great if we didn't have to go through such extremes to get additional stores on the deck.
*yawn* more fawning over MS's GaaS sub... Why bring that onto a great platform that is actually trying to "sell" games to consumers. Get a streaming handheld or something for that trash, like the Logitech G.
