How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

Than again, maybe there is some crazy person at Ubi, just like in Larian, who makes it their personal goal to make it run - apparently, there's now native Steam Deck build of Baldur's Gate 3...

To be fair, they did this with AC Shadows: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3159330?emclan=103582791474831789&emgid=572625355297260282

And as a Steam Deck owner, I can say that was the most impressively beautiful game that I ever played at locked 30fps on the Deck, although I didn't check the BG3 update out (but it ran bad before it).

Thanks, didn't know about AC:Shadows. Maybe they will indeed do something about Outlaws as well.

As for BG3, it seems that those improvements will benefit all other builds as well - as with all fixed hardware, there's progressively more to squeeze out of it...up to a certain point, of course.

Deck is fairly fine piece of kit -  when its running its GPU at max allowed clock, it actually has much higher pixel and texture fill rates, in addition to memory bandwidth, than Switch 2. What it does not have is developers (bar those few examples) who make extra effort just for Deck (let alone complete ports), where Switch 2, naturally, will always have major upper hand.
