Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Stadia is dead

OR you can "Play" via YouTube at least that's what i did on those exclusive PS5 game...

Why be an ass? People will loose access to BG3 through a service that was convenient for them, they bought the game and played for the last two years on.

Feeling the same. Maybe a Steam Deck in the future, not sure. Still then, we'll probably need two since I haven't seen any more mention of local co-op for ages.

Even if there is local coop, pulling it off on one Steamdeck might be tricky

Lol, makes sense, but I just figured we would be able HDMI to TV then use external controllers. Maybe not ;-)

I've been wanting to get a Steam Deck since they were announced, lack of funds + financial troubles abound kept me from properly saving up money for the version I wanted At this point, unless a miracle happens I'm not getting a Steam Deck anytime soon or in the foreseeable future sadly.

Considering that other Larian titles like DOS1 + 2 are on Geforce, I've got some (hopefully non-misplaced) hope that it'll come to the service eventually-it's just a matter of when imo.

I am another one of the people who thought that stadia was going to be the perfect way to play Baldur's Gate 3. I have close to 1,000 hours in Early Access.

Because Google sucks I have purchased a steam deck. So I guess what I want to know now is will the game be fully supported on the steam deck? Right now it's not great on the deck. I am hoping that you will use the stadia controller UI on the steam deck when the game is released.

Pretty sure Larian put out a vid with Sven where he's using one and stating that Larian is actively working on Steam Deck support for BG3

here's the vid:

That's great!

Yikes. Is the performance on the Steam Deck worse than on Stadia? Using Stadia, we overlooked a lot of problems chocking it up to EA. The biggest problem was the camera view falling into the floor or going through hills, etc. That was frustrating beyond belief.

No way we're buying Steam Decks if those problems persist on final release.

I'm curious though, what are the specific problems you've found so far?

Thanks in advance.

How do you play BG3 without a mouse and keyboard ?!? Is it even bearable? On a small screen? Its not the type of game I would get ASAP a Steam deck for...Is there any...advantages apart for <portability> (90 minutes battery kills that aspect imho...).

For some reason steam release doesn’t have pad support, so it must be super awkward to control. BG3 is also rather unoptimised and Steam deck isn’t the most powerful of hardwares.

Stil, as Sven mentioned D:OS2 worked on Steamdeck without any additional work, so hopefully Larian will aim for the same for BG3.

However, traditionally Larian games get a more focused console/pad support a year after initial release as they work on console port, so if they plan to do the same for BG3, it might take a while before UI is fully adapted to non-PC play.
