At frame rates of 30 fps, Ape permitting

Valve expects that its recently announced Steam Deck portable gaming console will be able to run "really the entire Steam library" on its 1280x800 LCD screen at frame rates of 30 fps or higher.

In a recent IGN video interview Valve Hardware Engineer Yazan Aldehayyat said that "all the games that we wanted to be playable had really good performance, a really good experience" in Steam Deck testing.

Valve developer Pierre-Loup Griffais expanded on that statement by saying that "all the games that we wanted to be playable" means "really the entire Steam library. We haven't really found something we could throw at this device that it couldn't handle yet".

Griffais said initial prototype testing for the Steam Deck focused on older games in the Steam catalog and that there were "games that were coming out last year that just couldn't really run very well on the previous types of prototypes and architectures we were testing".
