    I was going to make that point, but I don’t think the steam deck gets quite the same benefit on optimization. It could, but it needs a lot more volume before devs seriously target it.

    More because they can just sell it on PC and a lot of us will tolerate it pushing the hardware past its limit anyways. A PS5 version has an explicit level of responsibility that the Steam Deck doesn’t, unless they’re actively advertising it. (That’s not deck verified, because developers don’t decide that.)

      Yeah, with steam deck it just gets improved by improvements in proton, not a lot of deck specific things are done. I’m noticing games are running smoother on my Linux desktop because of this work.
