This and game engines are super scalable. Generations do not exist anymore. Back in the day engines had a lot of customization and couldn't run on weaker hardware, that died a long time ago.
Games can run in a gtx 1660 all the way up to a rtx 5090.. and 5090 is 600% higher performance. But again, most games can run on both.
Generations do not exist anymore.
Edit
As a real life example, minimum for SH F is a 1070ti, and gpu from 2017... almost a decade ago. Yet, still runs SH F.
Game engine scaling killed generations.
It is also why nobody should be surprised the S2 can run x, y and z. Just a question of resolution, fps and graphical settings.
