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.

Its relatively "low" resolution really helps it achieve better fps, but the trend of not optimizing and praying FSR does it good enough may be an issue.

I've never tried the really big titles on it, so I can't say reliably, I'm afraid.
