Does anyone know how well this plays on Steam Deck?

The Outer Worlds is a new single-player first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division.

Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the furthest edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the Halcyon colony. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.

Key Features

The player-driven story RPG: In keeping with the Obsidian tradition, how you approach The Outer Worlds is up to you. Your choices affect not only the way the story develops; but your character build, companion stories, and end game scenarios.
You can be flawed, in a good way: New to The Outer Worlds is the idea of flaws. A compelling hero is made by the flaws they carry with them. While playing The Outer Worlds, the game tracks your experience to find what you aren't particularly good at. Keep getting attacked by Raptidons? Taking the Raptiphobia flaw gives you a debuff when confronting the vicious creatures, but rewards you with an additional character perk immediately. This optional approach to the game helps you build the character you want while exploring Halcyon.
Lead your companions: During your journey through the furthest colony, you will meet a host of characters who will want to join your crew. Armed with unique abilities, these companions all have their own missions, motivations, and ideals. It's up to you to help them achieve their goals, or turn them to your own ends.
Explore the corporate colony: Halcyon is a colony at the edge of the galaxy owned and operated by a corporate board. They control everything... except for the alien monsters left behind when the terraforming of the colony’s two planets didn’t exactly go according to plan. Find your ship, build your crew, and explore the settlements, space stations, and other intriguing locations throughout Halcyon.

    Check the steam forums. This company pulled a scummy tactic recently basically charging you for an update that increases performance.

    People don’t sound happy about the ‘update’. Sounds like a total cash grab. (edited)

    If this plays well on the Deck, I'll be buying that to smash on an upcoming 10hr flight..

    It works well enough, turn the settings down, 30 to 40 FPS, I also have the enhanced release from last month, that works well enough too. (edited)

    Doesn't mean anything, the fully playable green verification is very strict. Lots of popular games aren't fully verified. (edited)

    This game is a few years old now. I don't understand why it isn't £5 or less for the base game. It's not like it's got the same recognition as red dead 2. I'm just confused as to how it's kept its value when compared to other titles.

    I think it's a strange "demand" to want games to be sold for pennies even if it's years after release. Not that this particular game is a masterpiece or anything, but it's worth more than £5.

    Have you got a Skyrim yet? I have been hammering that on the deck. I think it’s a match made in heaven

    It runs well enough - I'd suggest 85% resolution (makes no difference on the screen and it only impacts 3D graphics not static text), Medium graphics, 40pfs/hz lock. I wouldn't bother with the Spacer's Choice upgrade as the performance is worse and it looks different, rather than better imho.

    It also has a number of useful UI features, one of which is text scaling, which is great for boosting the size of static text on the smaller Steam screen. So a solid buy.

    So if i buy this version, does that mean i can buy the £5 upgrade and turn this into the new Spacer edition?

    I think you also need the dlc to be eligible for the "upgrade"

    Plays well on the deck btw. Solid 40 FPS on High graphics. Could probably go for 60 with FSR and a few compromises.

    Bear in mind it was free on Epic a while back so you may have it already! It's not too onerous to get the Epic store on a Steam Deck.

    these bundles are more confusing than hitman

    Buy The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition Upgrade Bundle BUNDLE (£45.87)
    Includes 3 items: The Outer Worlds, Peril on Gorgon,Murder on Eridanos, Spacer's Choice Edition Upgrade

    Steam doesn't actually tell you what "Space choice edition upgrade" is so I guess its the remaster/visual upgrade pack.

    Buy The Outer Worlds: Non-Mandatory Corporate-Sponsored Bundle (£45.04)
    Includes 3 items: The Outer Worlds, The Outer Worlds - Expansion Pass, The Outer Worlds (Original Soundtrack)

    the Non-Mandatory Corporate bundle (base + dlc) is cheaper here then I guess you can buy the visual upgrade pack for 9.99 once you have the game?
