Still a far cry from the amazing performance of Eternal, but great to see regardless.

One of the reasons why this is even possible is, because Valve sticks to current Steam Deck as the base. If they introduced the Steam Deck 2 already, then not only would this mean for developers more to test and optimize for, it also meant the new 2 would be the baseline and old Deck is forgotten quickly. Therefore even if lot of people ask for a Steam Deck 2, its crucial that Valve waits with the update. And honestly, its already impressive what we can play on it. I did not expect Dark Ages on it to play this well.

I agree with you, but that's what I intended with saying long term.
