It is a UE5 game, so don’t expect it to run great. But it’s verified and the minimum specs requirements are in line with other high end titles that run acceptably on the deck.
Edit: performance first impressions from SteamDeckHQ. Sounds like it runs and a pretty consistent 30fps, with some small dips outside near large groups of people. Reviewer was using XESS upscaling on performance.
Looks amazing but I expect it to be botched because it’s Bethesda anyway to be honest 😅
It’s Oblivion exactly as janky as you remember it, this remaster is a weird mishmash where all the visual rendering is handled by Unreal Engine 5 but the game itself is running using the original engine in the background.
It’s even kinda directly compatible with all the old mods, though most will need tiny tweaks to properly function.
So it can kinda be thought of as “Oblivion RTX Remix”, if you know that tool.
I think another studio was handling a lot of it, so it may be less jank than a typical Bethesda game.
