That honestly makes me happy that it isn't a must play. My PC is getting too long in the tooth for a game like Starfield and I don't have an Xbox. But I'm a big Bethesda fan and felt like I was missing out.
I wanted NMS with a more compelling narrative and RPG components and it doesn't look like Starfield is that.
Tbh, you could probably still play this; the steam deck can play it.
That being said, I don't recommend you play it.
I am right above the minimum requirements, but just barely. If anything, playing it would probably make me want to upgrade my PC.
If you have a good Internet connection, you could play it via Xbox Cloud Gaming with an Xbox GamePass Ultimate subscription. They probably have a free trial somewhere. That way, you just need a web browser and Bluetooth controller.
Might be slight lag if connection is slow or unstable like on WiFi, and there may be a wait to play if lots of people are online, but it should be top quality visuals without a high end PC. Worth a try, and there are other great games included as well.
I have fun with Starfield, but it does feel a bit dated.
