Playstation games have been very good with Steamdeck support because they understand not relying on windows APIs only. The only partnership is that they support a linux based OS and other graphics and compute API like Vulkan over directX. For this reason alone PlayStation games have had very good support and they've been doing a good job of it.
[Notebookcheck] Steam Deck 2 and Valve home console in the works as quiet Sony partnership hints at strategic alliance // Moore's Law Is Dead
- Thread starter SomeNorseGuy
- Start date
- Rumor Hardware
It's almost certain that it's just Sony games, in the PC version, with native Steam OS support.
It would be funny, while MS spent years attacking Sony with FUD and Sony kept quiet; now it's time for Sony to hit MS in the pocket with Windows.
"All Sony games, with the best graphics ever, run 15% better on Steam OS than on Windows."

???
what's that supposed to mean?
all Sony games use DirectX 12... and DirectX 12 only...
EDIT: ok, technically God of War is DirectX 11 I guess...

Of course it is. The whole episode is just a conversation around what it might mean lol. I thought it was interesting to get insight into the steam deck at times.

You know what i hate about these youtubers.
They all farm impressions.
Its crazy how good their analytics are now. They can see exactly what pulls the most viewers in and target that for monitory reasons.
This guy knows his audience loves when he talks about this kind of "leak" and so he focuses on that kind of content to farm as much money as possible
I dont trust any of them.
Fair play if its an entertainment youtube channel but farming "rumours" and insider knowledge is awful imo.
Not a fan of any of them.

PlayStations latest game (Stellar Blade) defaults to Vulkan but you're right they use directx, the more correct way to say it is not on directx only features since they're coming from a PS5 and its compatible linux based APIs. This makes it far easier for compatibility layers like VKD3D-Proton because in a way their engine has been converted as easily as possible to directx from a linux machine without directx and then translated back. They don't rely solely on things like DXR, Xinput etc either. It's a lot harder to break compatibility because you don't rely on windows APIs only.

The same thing happens to Kepler.
Everything said is taken as fact for these click bait sites.

I watched that entire episode and nothing sounded like a leak.
They mostly talk about suggestions or possibilities. Everything is just speculation.
You can even read the comments and see nothing was a leak.
It's just a clickbait article and you guys fell for it.

I can't find any info on that... but I played the demo, and if I remember correctly there was no API setting in the menus, and the game just used DX12...
