That’s the issue with bottom specced hardware. It’s not future proof. It’s falls out of the window of acceptable performance much faster. Look at the Horizon games. Zero Dawn plays great, Forbidden West does not.
At the bottom spec like the deck is, a two or three year refresh cadence is expected, unless they get to the point it hits in the middle of the performance window and has more leeway.
Yes, and that is exactly why having a low spec device as a common performance benchmark is useful. It extends the lifespan of low spec devices in general - at least if publishers think it’s worth targeting the playerbase.

I fully agree. But that low spec benchmark needs to move up regularly to be useful.
