Whether they're the best is obviously up for discussion and completely down to preference but there is no denying the quality of the two games. With the games now out on the Switch how do Valve's classics look on the Nintendo Switch compared to Valve's own handheld the Steam Deck?"
Streaming on the Steam Deck is even easier with a new beta installation method for GeForce NOW. Plus GeForce NOW brings 24 new games for May.
That's all folks. EA anticheat has now been added into Battlefield V, so it's the end of being able to play it on Steam Deck and other Linux systems.
This joins the likes of Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2: Deluxe Edition, EA SPORTS FC 24, EA SPORTS FIFA 23, Battlefield 2042 and Madden NFL 24 that all have EA's own homegrown anti-cheat that make them simply unplayable on systems running Linux.
Now if you try to run it, you'll be greeted with an error. A shame to see a game that's multiple years old get broken like this and no doubt EA will continue to use their own EA anticheat in future online games. Battlefield 1 is still okay, and Apex Legends is also still running but perhaps it's only a matter of time before EA force it onto those too?

Yes counter cheating that is good but when the ea app on pc is still totally broken and these cheaters are on 2042 same anti cheat this is just putting scotch tape on trumps file cabinet to prevent leaks its nothing more than a stop gap.
I mention ea app as for 4years it was in beta then tossed out with 3 year old issues and i still cant not get the products that i purchased on origin yeah i purchased digital but guess what there is no dvd games on pc anymore.
The rough part of all of this is that for those of us on PC mostly be it Windows or Linux based, the anti-cheat sucks up a lot of resources. It kind of reminds me of the conversation between, security and freedom. Too much of ether is both good if managed well or very bad. We just as gamers keep seeing this pop up over and over again. Wish I had some magic wand to stop cheaters... but I don't... hell we just seen what happened with Apex at a high level event.. getting that kind of access and such is not good... but at the same time. Can anyone, one person provide me an example where Anti Cheat has even like a hit rate above 50? I know I'm pulling numbers out of my ass, but it seems the cheaters beat the systems in place time and time again. Where there is a lock, and a smith to make it. We always will have a thief that breaks it.

Both look great. Framerate is also key with this game. I'm probably going to pick this up again for the Switch - I absolutely love Portal and being able to take it with me to hotels etc. when travelling will be great.
this game is super old looks good on switch but steam deck proves Nintendo needs a hardware upgrade
Still a great game I never played the first Portal game I only played Portal 2 on PS3 and I enjoyed it. Besides a little colour variation between the two. The framerate will have to be key on the Switch but price wise both games are on sale on Steam together about $4.30 Canadian. On the Switch both games are priced at $25.00 so consumer wise I would choose the Steam versions just because of the price difference.
I got it on my Switch OLED and it sure as hell runs and looks better than the versions I have on my PS3
