    Agreed and consoles have been shown to benefit from a longer cycle. Let devs get accustomed with the device and find ways to optimize games and engines for the specific configuration. I could see a mid cycle refresh with a lite version or an OLED/AMOLED screen (like the switch had) while keeping the same architecture.

      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.
