How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

Burning Shores also skipped PS4, but doesn't mean it's not possible to scale it down to run on PS4.

A proper port of CP2077 with Phantom Liberty is possible as well, just not profitable anymore at this point in time.

Phantom Liberty runs on Steam Deck at 30 fps

Digital Foundry did a comparison a while back, and yes, the Steam Deck basically renders at the same fidelity and frame rate you could expect out of a PS4 title, but at 800p, not 1080p. It is underpowered when directly compared to a PS4.

PS4 is more capable so shouldn't have issues with Phantom Liberty.

Steam Deck's more modern feature set likely allows it to play a bunch of games the PS4 can't. 

Steam Deck can run Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, MS Flight Simulator, Black Myth Wukong, FF7 Rebirth, Indiana Jones & The Great Circle and many other games that are PS5/XS gen only. 

Now those games don't always look the greatest, but the more modern feature set makes a big difference. 

Yes, at lower resolutions than PS4. Or is Digital Foundry wrong?

It may take some tweaking but the results are worth it - Steam Deck absolutely can deliver console-class performance, even on demanding titles. Obviously, resolution drops from console-standard 1080p to the mobile-orientated 720p or 800p.



720p is only 44% of the pixels of 1080p and it runs 8.5% faster...

The reason those games are PS5/XS is because we're finally past the generational overlap.
And Steam deck isn't 'hampered' by requiring a minimum performance level.



Yeah it runs sort of.
