  • It’s “most steam games” to be specific. You can’t play gamepass games, epic launcher games (unless available on steam as well), or Blizzard games on the deck in steamOS. We’re talking about PC gaming here, not just steam gaming, right?

    And I love steamOS and it’s UI BTW, the deck jiat doesn’t fot as a perfect handheld to me, and it’s not even the OS that’s the issue, it’s the APU power being an older device. First item that was on my list.




  • Something might but it has to meet a bunch of criteria. A lot of these handheld have flaws or drawbacks and none of them are perfect:

    • powerful APU to run latest games
    • OLED screen
    • VRR
    • Front firing speakers
    • comfortable to hold
    • back buttons not in the way, but easy to reach
    • hall effect sticks and triggers
    • trackpad(s)
    • good software for device control
    • large battery
    • lots of fast ram (24gb)
    • full size nvme expansion

    Most handhelds I see meet a bunch of those but not all of them.
