The recent Direct saw a number of titles that should prove interesting cases; Dragon's Dogma 2 and Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 for instance are two games that are quite CPU heavy and really struggle on Steam Deck.

Lords of the Fallen II and Stellar Blade could also be noteworthy in terms of getting big current gen titles onto Nintendo's hybrid.

I wouldn't compare SW2 ports with PC versions running on Deck - while there are some optimizations occasionally for Deck, either from devs or Valve, there isn't one single game that has actual Deck native port, treating it as fixed console hardware - it just doesn't make sense for publishers to do it from ROI point of view.

Yeah,I know it's not a 1:1 comparison as the Deck generally doesn't get a custom version tailored to the hardware, just mentioning it as a frame of reference, given Switch 2 is similarly powerful.

We may well see a case like Star Wars Outlaws where bespoke tweaks allow for a Switch 2 version that's much better than the more agnostic Deck equivalent.
