It is a UE5 game, so don’t expect it to run great. But it’s verified and the minimum specs requirements are in line with other high end titles that run acceptably on the deck.
Edit: performance first impressions from SteamDeckHQ. Sounds like it runs and a pretty consistent 30fps, with some small dips outside near large groups of people. Reviewer was using XESS upscaling on performance.
I’ll wait for the third or fourth remake. Since all they do is remaster Elder Scrolls games, all we have to do is wait!
So far, it’s not enjoyable on the Steam Deck for me. In outdoor areas and the dialogue screen, I’m getting ~25fps with completely ugly borked graphics settings. With medium settings, it looks graphically better but is hovering at around ~17fps.
Not nearly a smooth enough experience for me to want to play it on the Deck right now. I’ve played about with the graphics settings a lot but had no luck.
Exactly my experience. On lowest settings it looks worse than the original and still can’t get consistent 30fps.
I already refunded and I’m either going to install the original or wait for Skyblivion which looks amazing.
SteamDeckHQ did a first impressions, and they’re getting a pretty consistent 30fps (higher fps possible inside, but outside can’t go much higher than 30. They mentioned a few fps dips near crowds but that’s it.
It sounds like you’ve got a bad setting somewhere or something else going on, assuming their account is accurate.
I’ve done some more testing since my initial comment, and my experience is pretty much exactly as that article describes. Better than I had it before.
Overall it’s okay, but probably best experienced on a PC. Nice to have it nonetheless, and maybe it will get some updates to make it perform better!
Looks amazing but I expect it to be botched because it’s Bethesda anyway to be honest 😅
It’s Oblivion exactly as janky as you remember it, this remaster is a weird mishmash where all the visual rendering is handled by Unreal Engine 5 but the game itself is running using the original engine in the background.
It’s even kinda directly compatible with all the old mods, though most will need tiny tweaks to properly function.So it can kinda be thought of as “Oblivion RTX Remix”, if you know that tool.
I think another studio was handling a lot of it, so it may be less jank than a typical Bethesda game.
Ok i dont expect it to run great, but will it be playable… :)
