Has anyone tried CP 2077 on the steam deck? I know it is a much improved game now-a-days so wondering what it's like on a hand-held, as I'm considering one instead of upgrading the xbox or PS to the latest gen.
Yup. It is easily playable and looks decent. I found it overheated the GPU a lot and sometimes I would play it for an hour and then the frame rate would drop to 6fps so I learned to just switch it off and go and do something else for a bit. Randomly, it happened less frequently if it had the power plugged in but I cannot explain why.I am struggling with my SteamDeck now I have finished CP2077. I am probably going to sell it to get a PS Portal as I am enjoying my PS5 and can never be bothered with DIY set up on home PCs. I just want to click play and it works rather than having to try and find the right settings.
I'm still on the fence about these things.... I did nearly buy one then backed off.
I've been playing Cyberpunk on my tablet/laptop via GeForce now and I have to say its been a thoroughly excellent experience. Particularly with a controller its basically like playing it locally (I do have a good internet connection). At the moment I just use the free 1 hour tier but £8/mo or whatever it works out to for the priority tier where I can have 6 hours and use Ray Tracing is very tempting. You can run 1080p, all the bells and whistles and at 60 FPS for the most part.
I did think about getting a Logitech G Cloud instead but even at £200 used they're really too expensive for what they are. I think I may just go for a new XBOX wireless controller to replace my knackered PS4 one and just stick to playing on my tablet (11 inch Tab S9 with 120Hz hi-res OLED).
The only benefit of the Deck would be that you could continue to play the game "off-line" albeit at lower resolution and lower settings.
I can't believe really how good Cyberpunk is and how good it looks.

All I can say is this I tried the top tier GeForce Now for a month.

Still use my Steamdeck most nights and don’t have GeForce now anymore …
I still play mine a couple of times a week. Very good overall experience and I am sure the next gen will step things up.
They defo come into their own when travelling.
I play the latest F1 game and it runs a rock solid 60fps. Pretty impressive. Sure its only 720p (ish) but on such a small screen its fine.
1080, 3hr battery and a bit thiner / lighter would be perfect for SD2.

It goes against your thinner/lighter, but for around £40 you can get a 20,000mAh battery bank that clips on the back of a Steam Deck, the internal battery is just over 5000mAh so it would be adding about 4x more capacity.Edit: Prime day soon so I''m going to make a note to look out for one then.

Yeah I have an anker PD power bank that will run it for ages.
IIRC the CEO said the next version will have 2x the battery capacity.
Not due out for a couple of years though.
I do wonder though, given ASUS have managed to pack 80Wh into the Ally X, whether Valve may do yet another update or perhaps offer an upgrade by offering a higher density battery cell. Its 50Wh now but imagine if they could nip it up to 65 Wh or something.IIRC the CEO said the next version will have 2x the battery capacity.
