During the launch period, console companies try to release as many games representing as many genres as possible to ensure that they reach every kind of early adopter, but that practice has lessened recently with every system sporting some kind of backward compatibility for its previous console's generation of titles.

When the Steam Deck initially launched, both Microsoft and Nvidia sent out instructions for owners to add their respective cloud services to the SteamOS interface.
