King Marth 64 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) I'm kinda surprised to see no one posted a thread yesterday to talk about Valve had created a new Portable Nintendo Swicth like PC Gaming Console called "Steam Deck". The Steam Deck was announced yesterday and this is going to be released at December. The crew from IGN did asked the developers to talk about the Steam Deck that it does play more than Steam Games such as Xbox Game Pass, other gaming software, etc. There are three seperate versions of the price points mentioned in the website that did confirmed that are 64 GB Storage eMMC as $399.00, 256 GB Storage NVMe SSD as $529.00, and 512 GB Storage NVMe SSD as $649.00 and they did mentioned about the FAQ about Steam Deck.

NinjaMonkey Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Steam machines from Valve existed in 2015, so it's not even close to being their first. Edited July 17, 2021 by NinjaMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but this time, it's handheld. That's what's new and significant about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what I'd call "new" at all. Edited July 17, 2021 by NinjaMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigoasis Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Yeah, it seems alright, but nothing I'd really be interested in (especially for how expensive it is, holy smokes). Portable PC games is definitely cool, though, but if you have a gaming laptop and a spare controller, it really wouldn't be hard to make that portable, too (portable in the sense that you can take it with you on vacation or something, not necessarily something you'd bring on the subway). It's nice to know where Valve's priorities are at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Having thought about this some more, I'm not really convinced that these PC handhelds are going to be able to handle the more demanding PC games out there. I doubt the base model could even play Cyberpunk 2077 at low settings, let alone at 4K resolution and at 60 frames per second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense for players can play Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam Deck to run it fine since Steam Deck is a PC Gaming Console. The PS4 and Xbox One ports of Cyberpunk 2077 did have issues with the Glitches and Graphics that made the game messed up while we don't know if PS5 or Xbox Series X ports will have the same issues or it might have not have the Graphic Issues like the PS4 and Xbox One versions. Speaking of which, I'm kinda wondered if the Steam Deck would possibly receive the save data from Steam App or we just transfer through Computers since it uses a MicroSD Card?
