    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.

    I dont think it will be out of date anytime soon. Once you reach the realization AAA games are just lazy copy pastes of old AAA games, you also realize older AAA games run just fine on deck. Games that maxed out pre rtx cards run great on a deck, which is fucking insane considering they required cards as big as steam deck. The performance is mind boggling on the deck. If you want to play aaa slop on max settings with raytracing, Id say you need to wait for gen 2 which would be better at it considering graphics have practically stopped evolving.

      Waiting on a next generation portable Linux machine is a win win situation. Unless you die in the next year.

        Hmmm...

        Depends on Steam DRM, access to electricity, and concentration of radiation.

        Should be quite usable in ideal conditions after the nukes go off.
