Steam Deck is a full-featured gaming PC designed by Valve that lets you bring the games you love wherever you go. Reserve yours now and learn more at steamdeck.com #SteamDeck
Because they are a product lead company, not a marketing, finance or sales lead one. Not enough of these in gaming. They believe in earning lots of money through focusing on building the best possible product, as opposed to all the other ways you can do it. Like Nintendo, and old blizzard
I just hope that this system will live up to the hype. IMO, it looks to be one of the most ambitious game systems in modern times just being able to play on the go with a huge library of games at almost PC-like quality. It'd be a damn shame if it fails to function well and/or flops.
@@cadethumann8605 there's basically no way it flops, similar handhelds already exists. Their problems are usually either being too expensive, large, energy-consuming and/or lack of support. We know the price and size, so that's alright. By them having commisioned a new apu by AMD, based on the new rdna2 architecture, it will be very energy-efficient and much more powerful for the form factor it's included. And they are currently going through the steam library to check how well what games go with it, and it's designed by the most famous company for pc gamers, so the support is also there.
@@Icetea-2000 You're probably right. I do have good faith in this device. But real life has had unexpected turns for the worst. As Kratos from God of War (2018) had said, keep your expectations low and you'll never be disappointed. It's better to be pleasantly surprised than the opposite.
I was thinking of emulating Steam deck when it came out, then I found out that Steam Big Picture mode will be replaced by the Deck's UI so there is no need lol.
Yeah. Not like: Gaming. What.. defines… gaming? Is it the fun you have? The people you meet? The challenges you face? What even defines the socio economic equality construct or lack thereof in our own generational upbringing? What if it is all? Together. One one… device *slight glimpse of like a button or something idk - fades to valve logo.
An ad that makes you feel respected, for sure! If I hadn't recently upgraded my old PC, would've grabbed this in a heartbeat. Still might, if I need a portable way to play Team Fortress 2...
I gotta say the steam workshop part really gets me excited for this thing like no other cause I haven't seen a single console in the world by any company actually add mod support let alone on a portable console this has to be one of the best things to ever come out of 2021.
Yeah, just give them that fucking update or fix spaghetti. I dont play tf2 that much as i once did but valve you havent done nothing in 3 years just do an update
At this point I'm actively rooting for valve to just shut down tf2 completely and make it illegal to host community servers just because how fucking ANNOYING you guys are.
This device deadass saved my interest in gaming, god damn. Kudos, Valve, you made something that's been keeping me entertained for longer than anything else I've had in terms of games.
My dude this device is the greatest thing I've ever bought and Im 28 bought Car's and all this other bs that helps in life and I still put the deck as my favorite purchase ever.
I do really like how they spend much more time talking about actual features instead of just hyping it up as the best thing to ever exist. Feels different from normal advertising honestly.
simply because other consoles are garbage so they can't lie about it for legal reasons, but won't say "it's just a worse PC" ... and you get hollow, meaningless ads that don't tell about the actual product, who are boring and uninformative.

I have had mine just over 2 weeks and this is honestly the best place to play except my gaming rig. I have wanted one ever since this video and I now have one. This is probably the best thing besides my PC I actually own. Another masterpiece from Valve!
It's actually the most powerful handheld in the world? I thought its specs were good, but nothing fantastic - and so I'd imagine a gaming phone or something would surpass its specs/computing power? oh edit nevermind, a phone prob != a handheld
@@erfaniom9576 I mean in todays terms that pretty much is silent. I can't name a single person I know who actively reads on news sites, let alone game-oriented ones. Really the only reason it ain't silent is because everybody was talking about it on youtube.
I've been a lifelong fan of handheld gaming. I went ahead and reserved a 512 GB model on October 18. Really doesn't bother me that I may be waiting a while. I can wait for something this cool looking.
I feel like many things Steam has done, with the link and the controller for example, are coming together in new projects like this. I think this one will be a smash hit. The Switch was super popular despite not being that powerful and having fairly limited and expensive games. This thing is much more powerful, has cheap games and probably already has hundreds when you buy it.
@@B727X then you'll be in the exact same scenario of somebody that is buying a new console... though you'll have access to a handful of different digital libraries (steam, epic games, origin, microsoft, etc.) with way cheaper prices than Nintendo's and Sony's.

You won't even have to pay for online services like in the other consoles. And, if you want to play nintendo exclusives.... wouldn't it be funny if the Steam Deck was able to perfectly emulate Nintendo Switch (and all the other nintendo consoles)??? So... yeah it sucks that you don't have a big library from day 1, but the amount of money you can save with this console is incredible. And if you don't want to, well, you can always download cracked games and install them in the Steam Deck anyways.

I've seen smartphone and laptop advertisements that mention some of the specs such as screen size, screen type, battery size, storage space size, the amount of memory and the chipset without going too technical on the details (too technical for the average consumer that is).
@@markokuosmanen When have you seen a smart phone or laptop commercial in the past 10 years that cared about specs that wasn't an outright misrepresentation of its meaning? Most phones and prebuilt PCs have about the same specs on paper these days of competitors. The majority of CPU clock speeds haven't broken 5 ghz in about a decade, the majority of core counts have been about 4 to 8 cores for the past ten years. There are no metrics to communicate to consumers about the benefits of Zen 2 & RDNA2 APUs in a metric they can understand, and the 2.4-3.5 ghz, 4-core, 16GB RAM specification of the Steam Deck is a misrepresentation of its actual power compared to what consumers understand about traditional electronics. The battery life is variable to what the user is doing, the screen and storage varies between tiers in a way that cannot be expressed in a ~minute ad. All the people need to know in a ~minute is that Valve has a new handheld PC product, because people know Valve hardware is high quality and had a lot of thought put into what they need.
I remember watching this and being absolutely stimming with excitement over how cool a piece of tech like this was even in the works. after getting a Deck for Christmas this year, I can happily tell past me that it was worth the wait. :3
The more news on Steam Deck that I see the more and more excited I get about this :D especially for things like LAN parties :D the ability to make this a ton more portable for going out by putting it in a backpack with a controller and the hub just has me super stoked :D I really enjoy things like an external monitor setup for taking to campus where we all play smash brothers or tekken and other fighting games. Can't wait for this :D
Nice to see an 'Introducing (tech product) video that isn't just some pretty renders with some music in the background. You actually explained what it is and what it does. Great job Valve.
There are so many ideas of console games that can finally be played on this portable device. That included Namco Bandai who said they didn't have plans for Tales of Arise, to be put on the Nintendo Switch. Well, it will be made possible, with the Steam Deck. Especially since Tales of Arise just came out, and I have been turned off from playing Tales of Symphonia, since it has been limited to consoles only. I have been wanting that on a portable handheld for so long. I like how you can sync the whole library to this.
Well, I’m pretty sure they are mentioning it for 2 reasons. 1. Because games take up ALOT of storage these days. 2. The onboard storage only goes up to 512GB, which when it comes to Steam, a lot of PC users have an enormous amount of games on Steam so expandable storage had to be on the cards for Steam, otherwise a lot of people probably wouldn’t reserve one or ever get one.
To be honest, the trackpads are the best part of this device. I recommend looking at Nerdcast's video on how to use the keyboard with the steam controller(which uses the same trackpads, except the Steamdeck will likely be improved)
Check out Win600 from Ambernic. Its not from Valve but they are doing a partnership and will ship with SteamOS from the factory. Its a "Steam Deck Lite"
@@michaelawesome1864 Wait until you play any strategy game and you'll ask your entire life how did you played before with a controller... Anything that you need to point and click.
I don't blame them, it's support from Valve is dead and the game is still being massively played, having reached 150k players, with only 30k being bots.
@@Lelfay they're gonna encourage pc devs to release formats adapted to consoles. the ultimate goal is to merge pc and console gaming. and we all know it's not headed towards more quality but more dumbed down games for consoles to run too.
I have heard, that ChimeraOS is based on Arch, too. And it starts with Steam in Big Picture Mode, too. So it can be possible, that SteamOS 3.0 is a fork of ChimeraOS. But currently are not much informations about SteamOS 3.0.
well the switch has an entirely difference audience, that being casual gamers & families with children. They don't care as much about the specs in a trailer
@@unknownaura that's not the point though, the switch OLED's announcement could have easily been 1 minute long, just as this one, but instead is 2:30 minutes, despite the fact that they showed way less info. The problem is not the lack of info, it's the waste of time. Remember, these are announcement trailers, not paid advertisements; people watching them are the ones that actually want to know more about it, not just be told "the gaming console plays games"
As an avid nintendo fan who periodically plays games on steam for its exclusives, nintendo better have a fucking ace up their sleeve the next time they release a console because this is so fucking rad.
@North-East yes, I get that, I'm saying despite the fact I love the nintendo switch, it's horribly underpowered compared to this and its actual competition (sony and microsoft).
Over the last year i've build a portable PC in a FormD T1 and now this arrives. I'm so happy and if the Deck really is as good as promised i will get one.
Love my Steam Deck. Such an amazing device! I hope Valve will continue the good support for the years to come and also other game companies with optimising their games for the deck :)
@@V3ntilator Not really. The Neo is just a manufacturer cramming ultrabook hardware into a Switch form factor, which is neat, but it's still just running Windows with off the shelf components. The Steam Deck is getting a full custom software suite and hardware tuning akin to any big game console, while still being a fully open PC. That's where the excitement is. Also because it's price is fucking insane for what you get, and the fact that your entire Steam library is just there on launch.
After playing TLOZ BOTW, it's become apparent to me that gyro is incredibly useful for quick and accurate aiming Hope the game devs utilize this capability, as shown in these quick previews
High school me, or hell, even undergraduate me, would have absolutely drooled over this thing. me as a waytooold person is glad the younger generation got what I always dreamt of when playing my PSP. But the PSvita was amazing though. FF dissidia and and duodecimal were games i consider pivotal.
@@sarahhadi6276 i just mean as a kid yo go places and have more time to play video games than an adult. for me, this device is nearly pointless. I don't travel for work and going to someone's house they probably have a system or w/e.
@@fb5601 I'd disagree. For the price the entry model and a 1tb micro SD card, you cannot find a desktop with 16gb of ram and a comparable gpu. At best you'll be getting far worse Vega or Intel hd integrated graphics. The fast ram combined with rdna2 is what makes the integrated graphics on this truly special. Probably on par with a gtx 1050 ti laptop.
"I am Valve Corporation, and this is my handheld gaming console. It weighs 1.47 pounds and plays triple a games at 30 frames per second. It costs 400 dollars to game on it.. for 2 hours."
Absolutely love my steam deck, every software update makes it better and better, the most recent 3.5 update literally improved performance and made the screen look way better. Best handheld ever in my opinion

There are no metrics to communicate to consumers about the benefits of Zen 2 & RDNA2 APUs in a metric they can understand, and the 2.4-3.5 ghz, 4-core, 16GB RAM specification of the Steam Deck is a misrepresentation of its actual power compared to what consumers understand about traditional electronics. The battery life is variable to what the user is doing, the screen and storage varies between tiers in a way that cannot be expressed in a ~minute ad.
All the people need to know in a ~minute is that Valve has a new handheld PC product, because people know Valve hardware is high quality and had a lot of thought put into what they need.
I remember watching this and being absolutely stimming with excitement over how cool a piece of tech like this was even in the works. after getting a Deck for Christmas this year, I can happily tell past me that it was worth the wait. :3
The more news on Steam Deck that I see the more and more excited I get about this :D especially for things like LAN parties :D the ability to make this a ton more portable for going out by putting it in a backpack with a controller and the hub just has me super stoked :D I really enjoy things like an external monitor setup for taking to campus where we all play smash brothers or tekken and other fighting games. Can't wait for this :D
Nice to see an 'Introducing (tech product) video that isn't just some pretty renders with some music in the background. You actually explained what it is and what it does. Great job Valve.
Love when video game marketing is actually good
But it literally had pretty renders and music in the background.

There are so many ideas of console games that can finally be played on this portable device. That included Namco Bandai who said they didn't have plans for Tales of Arise, to be put on the Nintendo Switch. Well, it will be made possible, with the Steam Deck. Especially since Tales of Arise just came out, and I have been turned off from playing Tales of Symphonia, since it has been limited to consoles only. I have been wanting that on a portable handheld for so long. I like how you can sync the whole library to this.
Got mine on 1st of August. What a day that was. I love it!
I love how mentioning expandable storage counts as a feature cause everyone's removing them
@@No_Life_Alex Seriously though. The fact that party chat on a Switch is done through an external mobile app, is fucking tone deaf of Nintendo.
And a headphone jack!
@@Xeph0r and my axe!
Well, I’m pretty sure they are mentioning it for 2 reasons. 1. Because games take up ALOT of storage these days. 2. The onboard storage only goes up to 512GB, which when it comes to Steam, a lot of PC users have an enormous amount of games on Steam so expandable storage had to be on the cards for Steam, otherwise a lot of people probably wouldn’t reserve one or ever get one.

If there is a mini version of this without trackpad i'll consider buying it, looks amazing!
To be honest, the trackpads are the best part of this device. I recommend looking at Nerdcast's video on how to use the keyboard with the steam controller(which uses the same trackpads, except the Steamdeck will likely be improved)
Check out Win600 from Ambernic. Its not from Valve but they are doing a partnership and will ship with SteamOS from the factory. Its a "Steam Deck Lite"

The switch OLED announcement has so much filler compared to this thing
This one in comparison is so much quicker, informative, and to the point
Like actually, I was strolling through the comments and the video was already halfway over.
well the switch has an entirely difference audience, that being casual gamers & families with children. They don't care as much about the specs in a trailer
@@unknownaura that's not the point though, the switch OLED's announcement could have easily been 1 minute long, just as this one, but instead is 2:30 minutes, despite the fact that they showed way less info.
The problem is not the lack of info, it's the waste of time.
Remember, these are announcement trailers, not paid advertisements; people watching them are the ones that actually want to know more about it, not just be told "the gaming console plays games"
Thank you for making the Steam Deck! I love my train rides a lot more now ❤
Great job Valve, Preorder is already in. :-)

As an avid nintendo fan who periodically plays games on steam for its exclusives, nintendo better have a fucking ace up their sleeve the next time they release a console because this is so fucking rad.
@North-East yes, I get that, I'm saying despite the fact I love the nintendo switch, it's horribly underpowered compared to this and its actual competition (sony and microsoft).
@North-East with all respect to you, don't you think that the latest Nintendo games are a bit crap?
@North-East Yuzu
@North-East Valve is entering the handheld market. A place Nintendo has dominance over. They are definitely in competition now
@North-East yes....exclusives that can be emulated for free on any pc. OH WAIT THATS RIGHT STEAM DECK IS A PC.
Over the last year i've build a portable PC in a FormD T1 and now this arrives. I'm so happy and if the Deck really is as good as promised i will get one.
Love my Steam Deck. Such an amazing device! I hope Valve will continue the good support for the years to come and also other game companies with optimising their games for the deck :)
I've honestly never been more excited for a hardware release.
Same here. This is what I wanted to have since the 90's!
I guess you missed out on Aya Neo earlier this year which basically did the same as Steam Deck?
@@V3ntilator Not really. The Neo is just a manufacturer cramming ultrabook hardware into a Switch form factor, which is neat, but it's still just running Windows with off the shelf components. The Steam Deck is getting a full custom software suite and hardware tuning akin to any big game console, while still being a fully open PC. That's where the excitement is. Also because it's price is fucking insane for what you get, and the fact that your entire Steam library is just there on launch.
@@V3ntilator Lmfao the neo is a joke
well, you have to wait next year because it says it will release in q2 2022.

After playing TLOZ BOTW, it's become apparent to me that gyro is incredibly useful for quick and accurate aiming
Hope the game devs utilize this capability, as shown in these quick previews
As a fellow BOTW player I couldn't agree more. People need to stop dismissing gyro for this
I just thought about this, I remember how much I relied on gyro controlling when I played BOTW. I think it would have a nice place in games like RDR2.
High school me, or hell, even undergraduate me, would have absolutely drooled over this thing. me as a waytooold person is glad the younger generation got what I always dreamt of when playing my PSP. But the PSvita was amazing though. FF dissidia and and duodecimal were games i consider pivotal.

You can get a decent pc for the same price of the deck but the portability is nice
@@fb5601 I'd disagree. For the price the entry model and a 1tb micro SD card, you cannot find a desktop with 16gb of ram and a comparable gpu. At best you'll be getting far worse Vega or Intel hd integrated graphics. The fast ram combined with rdna2 is what makes the integrated graphics on this truly special. Probably on par with a gtx 1050 ti laptop.
