Like how does it do with games like Starfield or The Last of Us? Regardless though, are we reaching a point where it’s practically impossible to run newly released games on the Steam Deck? Games such as GTA VI, Spider-Man 2, MW3, etc…
I mean isn’t that how PCs work? A build in 2019 should be able to run today’s games still, just not in that good graphics or performance.
The thing is that many AAA games are released in a poorly optimized state (on any PC hardware) these days, so it is hard to tell. Often down the road they have been patched to run better and then they work decently on the deck.
Sometimes, games never get post release performance fixes. So likely those games will never run well in the Steam Deck.
