This is a solid benchmark of how the Steam Deck holds up when it comes to many of the top games of the year.
The TL;DR is that the deck plays most titles on the list pretty well, and a few that are rough performance wise but playable.
There were only about 6 titles I counted that weren’t playable on deck at all, mostly due to anticheat. 2XKO, fortnite, battlefield 6, F1, and EA Sports all couldn’t run due to kernel anticheat. Finally Monster Hunter Wilds was the only game nominated that couldn’t run due to performance.
“Mostly perfectly unless they’ve got anti-cheat, and you’ll be limited to 30 fps for most of the fancy-graphics titles.”
Actually pretty damn good. Considering the difficulty I had getting frames out of E33 on desktop, having it play reasonably on the go is impressive. 60 fps @ 4K made my PC sound like a vacuum cleaner and was warming up the whole house; really needs some of the upscaling trickery to be comfortable to play.
Since that article was posted, the game got a major update with a bunch of steam deck improvements:
