STALKER 2 is good example - so far, its minimum GPU requirement (AKA it will barely run) is 1060, which is quite above Deck  - eager to see something like that tested on it.

Oh, and I'm talking about hypothetical MS handheld and their exclusives as an incentive for 3rd parties to go an extra mile and make another version apart from XSX/XSS. But who knows, maybe 3rd party publishers will start making profiles/adjustments just for Deck.

The thing with those minimums is that the devs are assuming you will be running at a reasonable resolution like 1080p as no one has been making 720p monitors for a long time. They typically don't look at 720p (which the Steam Deck is) as most people don't have a 720p screen. If the Steam Deck is popular enough, we may see it be taken into account for future releases though.

True, but IIRC (it's been a long, long time), in RL performance 720p to 1080p is only around 1.3x-1.5x. But as i said, if Deck turns to be popular, maybe devs will start optimizing for it as well.
