Is the Steam Deck performance struggling with new AAA games? Should I be concerned buying a Steam Deck now?

I’m guessing/hoping not because most game developers would optimise the games for the Switch 2 and Xbox Series S which have similar performances as the Deck.

I think 30 fps (consistent) is perfectly fine, and I don’t mind medium details.

    If you are looking for an affordable device to play AAA games well on with no issues, get a ps5.

    If you are looking for a hand held to play indie titles and the plethora of older games available I’d go for the steam deck.

    I think it’ll be a while until we get a hand held experience like the steam deck but with AAA capable hardware.

        Its relatively “low” resolution really helps it achieve better fps, but the trend of not optimizing and praying FSR does it good enough may be an issue.

        I’ve never tried the really big titles on it, so I can’t say reliably, I’m afraid.
