MODERATORS
 

In last year's survey, 66% of developers reported working on games for PC, while this year's number is significantly higher at 80%. In comparison, 38% of developers said they were working to put their game on PlayStation while 34% said they were developing for Xbox.

Now, GDC clarifies that "Steam Deck" was not specifically listed as a platform option in the survey. However, when answering which platforms they were developing for, 44% of respondents who chose "Other" did mention "the Steam Deck as a platform they’re interested in," which potentially shows a significant focus on Valve's handheld.

Graphics are graphics, that's what limits most of the games and devices. Optimize something to run on the Switch 2, and that should work on the Deck too.
That benchmark used to be the PS4, but most developers have dropped support for last gen hardware.
