Switch 2 vs. Steam Deck OLED: Which is more powerful?
We have the early answer, thanks to Digital Foundry and Cary “The Phawx” Golomb, and... it’s so nuanced and intriguing I recommend you watch both videos yourself! But TL;DR:
- Switch 2 plays Cyberpunk 2077 far better docked... but Steam Deck wins handheld.
- Handheld, the Switch 2 is less stable; missing some detail; load times are slower.
- Switch only uses around 1/3rd the power! But since Steam Deck has 2.5x the battery, both last around 2 hours.
