Hi. So I just joined because I’m waiting for my first steam deck to arrive (SD OLED). I’m usually an Xbox (series X) gamer. I’ve been waiting for Baldurs Gate 3 to come out on Xbox. It soon should. But now I’m getting my steam deck and I was thinking of getting BG3 from steam instead. On the other hand, I could get it for Xbox, so I can play on tv if I want, and use remote play to my steam deck if I want to play handheld.

So. I’m wondering how the quality compares in terms of graphics, or performance, or anything else, when it comes to native (buy from steam and install on SD) versus local streamed (buy on Xbox, use greenlight to remote play). Let’s assume my home internet/wifi is good.

Thanks in advance! Look forward to tinkering and experimenting all Christmas break

    I played first few hours on my Steam Deck. It was playable but looked worse than some iOS games - especially on the bigger screen I was playing it. On the SD it looked fine but was too small in my opinion.

    Once games get too demanding, SD is not so much fun. Battery will completely drain in 2h and you will have plenty of sacrifices (40 instead of 60 FPS), medium graphics… things like that
