Some quotes:

“When we look at the specs for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam Deck,” Hamaguchi said. “It’s really getting comparable to the PS5 and Xbox consoles,” they explained. “We do want to keep a focus on the consoles as well, but we also want to keep the handheld devices and their audiences in mind.”

...

“Nowadays there are many different ways to play available for us. For example, the Steam Deck, that many players use now,” he said. “We have more freedom now. Currently, even high-definition games aren’t played at home. Considering the diversity of ways one can play a game, we believe it’s important to think about it and to adapt to these new modes of play.”

I beg to differ, I found the first one to play weirdly well on it. Didn't play the second. I often used it as an example of what the deck can do, since it was smooth.

The graining from the dynamic resolution looks super ugly and hurts my eyes especially once I played on desktop, but the performance was definitely nice.

The first Horizon game is like that for me. They tried to AI upscale the shit out of it.

Huh. Did that come with an update? I remember trying to play HZD when I first got my steam deck and it consistently hit about 14fps during combat at the lowest settings. Completely unplayable. I just uninstalled it and didn't try again, but maybe I should now.
