A mod that enhances the universe

A clever modder has already found a way to enhance the experience on the Steam Deck. Because let's be honest: with a game like Starfield, featuring over 1,000 planets and 100 star systems to explore, the hardware of the Steam Deck might break a sweat.
A Mod to the Rescue

It offers a range of optimizations such as compressed textures and files, as well as reduced settings to boost performance. The biggest advantage? The mod significantly reduces in-game "stuttering," according to the author.
