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):

  • Phoenix Point lasts just 2 hours.
  • Civ 6 lasts about 3 hours, more on smaller maps with less NPCs.
  • Emulated Breath of the Wild lasts for 4 to 5 hours.
  • Hollow Knight nearly 7 hours.

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?

Are you using the switch (Yuzu) or Wii U (cemu) version of BOTW? Wondering if I should make the “switch”

Ok if you’re realistic. Low-medium and you’ll have an hour. Drop performance down for 2D games.

Source: I don’t have one yet.
