NFSU, U2, MW, and Carbon run perfectly. Even in proper 16:10 widescreen after some fiddling.

Anything pre- ~2015 and remasters off that era can pretty much run at full settings native resolution. Really demanding stuff like Cyberpunk you have to run with FSR to get to a decent frame rate, so those I stream from my PC using moonlight. It CAN run demanding new games but running the thing at full tilt (25W) drains the battery in 1.5 hours. For an old game, let’s say NFSMW you can turn the TDP down to ~5 watts and enjoy ~5 hours of 60FPS hooning.

Fair warning if you just found out:

1: Wait list is about a year long, I ordered mine in July 2022. It’ll probably get better as they keep ramping up production.

2: it can require a bit of nerding out to get titles to run that aren’t officially supported. Nothing crazy but the fact that it is running native windows games on Linux takes some fiddling with .ini and .reg files for some games. I am by no means a programming genius, and I’ve been able to get my games running by simply googling + steam deck. Someone has likely already done the legwork.

3: Most games downloaded from Steam run really well out of the box, but a lot of them require you to set up your controller layout because the games weren’t designed for it. Valve’s steaminput controller setup makes it easy though. Most games even have community shared layouts you can choose from.

Interesting, I've read reports of people doing some wild things with the S.D. Like hooking up an external GPU or even switching it to Windows O.S. Im extremely jealous I gotta say.

Now I can't get "Riders on the Storm" song out of my head.

I can wait.
No doubt anything I want to run will be figured out by the time I can get one.
Pretty much all I have is older games on Steam (Fallout, Command and Conquer, Wasteland sort of stuff) so shouldn't be a problem getting or setting up layouts.

If you haven’t done so, Amazon Prime Gaming, a service for all those who already have a prime account. Is giving away WRC 8 and Farcry 4 for free.

Resident Evil 4 is getting a remake. Slated to come out on 2023.

It looks very Dead Space-ish (which isn't surprising). I hope there's something to differentiate it from that game.

For such games I need to definitely upgrade my PC)) That's why my choise is still StarCraft, etc.

When did etc get released? It's not a game I'm familiar with.

Bethesda: hey HelloGames, we like your No Man's Sky game, can we copy your homework?


HelloGames: Eh, sure, just make sure it doesn't look the same


Bethesda: LADIES AND GENTS, we give you " STARFIELD".



TBH it looks really cool. Wouldn't mind spending another 300+ hours on another AAA game, to have a space Preston telling me another space settlement needs my help.

That building in the first screen shot looks EXACTLY like the Asari architecture in Mass Effect:
