I am currently interested in buying myself a steam deck. I mostly play AAA games, but I’ve read some posts here where people talk about the steam deck not being able to run current day AAA games very well. I’m kinda worried that the deck won’t be able to play AAA titles that release over the next 3-4 years and that I’ll be wasting hundreds of dollars if I bought one today. If I am ok with playing games at 30 fps, would it be a good decision to buy the deck now for AAA gaming?

    Then I would say: no

    Playing AAA games like this:

    • 7" screen
    • 30fps
    • low settings
    • Steam Deck fans on full tilt

    Is just not great. Sure its better then nothing if you are on the go. But if you are at home - its 10x better to play the games on a big TV with proper sound system and much improved FPS / graphical fidelity.

    Also BEWARE !!!

    • There are already AAA games on the deck that dont run / run like dog-poop.
    • And it will get worse with more modern game releases
