The Steam Deck has only been out for a year at this point, but already, it's becoming a popular topic of conversation. And with even games like Elden Ring seeing big popularity on the portable PC platform, it's an obvious question as to whether FromSoftware's next title Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon will also be Steam Deck compliant.
We got the chance to play Armored Core VI in a recent hands-on preview (https://www.destructoid.com/armored-core-6-hands-on-impressions-preview-fromsoftware) and chat with two of the team's leads, director Masaru Yamamura and producer Yasunori Ogura. During the roundtable interview, the pair were asked about the prospects of Armored Core VI on the Steam Deck.
"Obviously, seeing how Elden Ring performed on Steam Deck, we're very happy, and we wanted to at least create that as a baseline going forward for this handheld," said Ogura. "So it is fully supported for Steam Deck. Nothing in particular this time we've done differently, just want to reassure players that it will be fully supported."
AC on PCNotably, this is the first Armored Core game to get an official PC launch. Armored Core VI is due to hit PC alongside PlayStation and Xbox on August 25.
"We do all of our development on PC, first and foremost. So of course, we wanted to optimize it to that experience," said Ogura. "And just being a modern FromSoftware game on modern hardware, we wanted to try and at least meet that bar, and deliver a good experience to our PC players. So we tried to incorporate our knowledge over the last several years of game dev, and try to correct, and try to optimize as best we can for the PC audience."
The PC specs for Armored Core VI will be coming soon, the team says, and it will be interesting seeing what hardware the mech game will require. Still, for those hoping to take their mechs on the go much like they took Elden Ring around, this could be promising. We'll learn more as we approach Armored Core VI's release date on August 25.
