One sticking point is more games coming out that don’t perform well, and while the Steam Deck is impressive, it all depends on developers actually optimising for the hardware, as Griffais said “it’ll depend on how developers approach it” and that “If high-end current-gen titles are able to scale to Deck and be a great experience, it also enables smoother performance on a wider variety of PCs, and improve the experience for the whole playerbase”. Yang also mentioned how they’ve “seen a number of recently released demanding titles perform well on Steam Deck, due to developers targeting and testing on the device.”.
