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 I have tried cleaning the fans but it doesn’t help. I think it is just not designed well for gaming use.

        Is it just bad luck? I’ve watched many gaming laptop reviews and most of them seem to mention excessive fan noise. Steam Deck seems to be significantly more quiet, and the Switch 2 is essential silent.

          I meant bad luck that you bought a machine with loud fans generally!
