Comment on Is the Steam Deck getting outdated soon? Should I wait for the next gen?

Is the Steam Deck performance struggling with new AAA games?
It did that on day 1. It’s a mobile device. You have to temper your expectations.
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.
The XBOX is not going to have similar performance. The Nintendo is actually quite a bit more performant. But more importantly the games on these devices are going to be specifically designed and optimized to run on a specific piece of hardware.
I think 30 fps (consistent) is perfectly fine, and I don’t mind medium details.
It obviously depends on the game but newer AAA titles are going to struggle to hit 30FPS on 800p/low.
If you want something with more performance you should get the Legion Go (non S) or Ally X and run Bazzite on it.
