There are plenty of supposed Steam Deck killers available in the portable gaming space, from the Asus ROG Ally to the Lenovo Legion Go and all the Ayaneo and ONEXPLAYER devices in between. But none of them have managed to outright slay the dragon that is the mighty Steam Deck yet.

    That’s my point. This is a quote from the Steam Deck website:

    We partnered with AMD to create Steam Deck’s custom APU, optimized for handheld gaming. It is a Zen 2 + RDNA 2 powerhouse, delivering more than enough performance to run the latest AAA games in a very efficient power envelope.

    If I read that and bought a Steam Deck, then found out that it can’t run a new release smoothly, I wouldn’t be very happy.

    It’s all well and good having a compatibility list for released games, but their marketing makes it sound like it can play anything.
