That’s not entirely true, the steam deck runs switch 1 far better than the actual system. Switch 2 games do not seems that much more demanding than switch 1 for now

To emulate a game from a console, you first have to build an emulator that pretends to be the hardware of that system.

What I'm telling you is that the act of a steam deck trying to emulate the switch 2 hardware will be the problem. Not the games themselves.

I mean if you can play switch 1 game on it as it seems, architecture must be similar, also Nintendo sued multiple emulators in the running of announcing it adding to the possibility of similarity. Nintendo console also have a pretty big dedicated branch of emulation push by fans.

I guess we'll see, but I'm pretty skeptical. The switch 2's GPU has twice the cores as a steam deck so unless they just don't use that power it sounds pretty unreasonable to me that a steam deck will run switch 2 games well along with the overhead of emulation.

Like, yeah the steam deck runs switch 1 games better than a switch 1... But the switch 2 is running switch 1 games at 4k 60fps and 1440p 60

That’s what the Xbox one used to say too, and we’re talking about Nintendo.

The switch 2 is more powerful than an Xbox one... It's around a PS4 pro

Edit:

And the steam deck doesn't need to emulate an Xbox so what is even your point?
