I feel like I could have raised a family in the time between its supposed release date and now, and it's still not out yet. permalink fedilink source parent [–] rmuk@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago (7 children) Rockstar are good at optimising their games. GTA V ran better than GTA IV on the same hardware. I wouldn't be surprised if GTA VI runs well on the Steam Deck. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] Frenchgeek@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago (1 child) Well, it did take a while for GTA IV to run well on anything, really... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] desertdruid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago it still doesn't in some modern PCs lol permalink fedilink source parent [–] LifeLikeLady@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago It won't at all run on the deck.

GTA V came out in 2013... almost 13 years ago and we are two generations ahead console-wise. I'm just skeptical at the idea that GTA VI will run well on Steam Deck, maybe on the future Steam Machine permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* i think its a bit much to still ask the steam deck to run new releases well, especially with valves refusal to release performance updated version unless they can make major, foundational improvements such that it would basically be a steam deck 2 the steam deck is 4 years old, afterall, and it wasnt exactly a top end machine when it released.. being little more than a slightly modified APU based system. permalink fedilink source parent [–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago Doesn't GTA IV famously soft lock if the frame rates too high because soon aspects of the animation cycle are blocked to frame rate? permalink fedilink source parent [–] architect@thelemmy.club 0 points 8 months ago Rockstar good at optimizing games?
