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.

    Yeah that’s my concern as many new AAA games will be UE5. I’ve also read that Oblivion Remastered struggles on the Deck. (I prefer the original Oblivion anyway).

      It’s not necessarily UE5 that has issues with the Steam Deck, but what they do with it. For example, Clair Obscur plays well on Steam Deck, but I wouldn’t even try to play Ark Survival Ascended.
