    I suppose an aside, why would you emulate those games when they are available on PC anyway?

      Is this a general question why someone would want to emulate the games? It’s mostly about preservation. In example I also play the original Super Nintendo games on a good emulator of my choice, rather than the official versions from Steam, because I like that more. From the Steam Decks perspective, I’m more interested into the technical perspective that this is even possible. Even if we just play small indie games on it. It would mean we don’t need monstrous PCs after all, because developers try to make it run on small handhelds.

        No, my question was, why would you want to emulate low demand ps5 games which aren’t even ps5 exclusives?

        There’s only like five games that are actually ps5 exclusive. All the other games are available other ways which would be better than emulation on a Steam deck, like just native pc versions for the vast majority.

          That’s not my point as explained. Its being even possible to emulate PS5 games on the Deck that is exciting for me, regardless of which game it is. I couldn’t care less of which game I emulate on the Deck or if its available on PC already. It’s not for practical reasons, if that is what is confusing to you with my replies. I’m being excited that any PS5 game could be emulated on the Deck, which has lot of implications that is important to me.
