Armored Core 6: The Next Big Thing in Handheld Gaming?

The upcoming mech-based shooter Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is generating a lot of buzz, and for good reason. With its minimum PC specs revealed, it’s clear that this game could be a great fit for Valve’s Steam Deck, making it a must-play for handheld gaming enthusiasts.

Get ready for intense mech battles

For those unfamiliar with the Armored Core series, it’s a cult classic developed by FromSoftware, the same studio behind the critically acclaimed Elden Ring. While Elden Ring is known for its dark fantasy setting and challenging gameplay, Armored Core 6 takes a different approach, focusing on fast-paced mech battles and strategic gameplay.

FromSoftware’s latest masterpiece

After the huge success of Elden Ring, Armored Core 6 is gaining attention from both fans of the series and newcomers alike. With its minimum PC specs similar to those required for Elden Ring, it’s likely that Armored Core 6 could run smoothly on the Steam Deck, making it an exciting prospect for handheld gamers.

The Steam Deck: the perfect platform for Armored Core 6?
