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.

    Big vouch for streaming. I mostly use my deck at home so I can play on the couch instead of staying cooped up in the office after spending all day at the same desk for work.

    The deck can run a lot of games natively surprisingly well, sure, but sunshine/moonlight are incredible. Even games that run fine natively, I’ll still typically stream to my deck instead just for the battery life.
