We have some new insider information on the details of Starfield’s first patch.
We got the information on the patch notes from Insider Gaming, who is keeping their sources anonymous. These do not like they will be a day one patch, but instead, a patch readied for Early Access, which hits on September 1, 2023.
Insider Gaming also noted that Bethesda added the ability to bring up a virtual keyboard, solely for the Steam Deck. They claim that the document where they sourced this information also shared this information:
“Starfield will run on both the Steam Deck and the ROG Ally with the correct drivers, but the hardware below the recommended minimum specs and performance may suffer.”
It’s an interesting note, in so far as both the Steam Deck and ROG Ally run on AMD based CPUs. Bethesda was the subject of much criticism when they revealed that they had partnered with AMD for Starfield on PC. However, it’s possible that one of the consequences of that decision was that they could work on this compatibility with these handheld gaming devices.
