The Steam Deck is a handheld gaming device developed by Valve Corporation, the company behind the popular digital game distribution platform, Steam.
The device features a custom AMD APU with a quad-core Zen 2 CPU and an RDNA 2 GPU, as well as a 7-inch touchscreen display, and it runs on Valve’s own SteamOS operating system.
The Steam Deck is designed to run PC games, and users will be able to access their entire Steam library on the device. It also has a dock that allows users to connect it to an external display, keyboard, and mouse, effectively turning it into a mini-PC.
The Steam Deck has generated a lot of buzz and excitement among gamers, particularly those who are looking for a portable gaming device that can play their entire library of PC games. It is expected to release in December 2021, with pre-orders already selling out quickly after opening.
You can also flash windows onto it using an SD card which then will make it a portable computer and you can also add epic games, xbox game pass and a lot of other things which is nice. You would not have to worry about using the cloud to save your games since it will save directly to your account since you will not be using cloud gaming or the steam link.
If you happen to not want to flash it with windows, you can still play your games. It will just tell your and give you a list of things that are compatible and not compatible, things tested and not tested along with things that are partly compatible. This is nice so that you know what games will run on it.
