MODERATORS
The SD had the Switch's entire library the day it came out, no fucking shit it has thousands more games from the day it came out even ignoring that
How does a deck perform for Steam games though?
Edit - oh fuck me, I was sleepy - I meant Switch games.
Really good! However, battery management is indeed a thing.
Graphically demanding games, such as Phoenix Point, run well but drain battery fast.
Other games that look good, but somehow aren't as demanding, last much longer.
Battery lasts the longest, of course, with 2D games.
Anyway, here's my experience with the Steam Deck (not OLED):
I'm so sorry, I was sleepy when typing out my question. I meant to ask how well it ran Switch games! But thank you for this, I have recently ordered mine and I'll keep this in mind!
Also have you tried any other games apart from BotW?
Yes I have.
Mario Wonder runs pretty bad. Frequent stuttering and microfreezing. I'm pretty sure that'll be fixed in Yuzu at some point but right now it's "meh".
Rayman Legends Definitive Edition runs perfectly. Absolutely flawless. Also very kind on the battery life, lasting nearly as long as Hollow Knight.
Mariokart 8 Delux runs really smooth as well. Haven't encountered any real issues, but it's more demanding on battery life, so expect it to last around like Breath of the Wild.
Are you using the switch (Yuzu) or Wii U (cemu) version of BOTW? Wondering if I should make the "switch"
Yuzu, but I've been told that the Wii U version would've been a better option.
Ok if you’re realistic. Low-medium and you’ll have an hour. Drop performance down for 2D games.
