Best Starfield settings for ASUS ROG Ally

The ROG Ally is the first handheld device from Taiwanese hardware manufacturer ASUS. It is designed to play high-quality PC games on the go and features multiple performance improvements over something like a Steam Deck. It also has a better APU capable of delivering 1080p gaming performance compared to Valve's offering. In many ways, the ROG Ally is the most powerful handheld you can buy today.

This makes it a solid contender for playing Starfield, a very demanding game set to fully release this Wednesday, September 6. However, the new space explorer RPG is a very demanding title. Ally gamers will have to crank down the settings in it significantly to get a decent experience.

Tweaking multiple graphics options in this game can be a bit difficult. Therefore, this article will list the best settings for a good experience in Starfield.
