- The Steam Deck manages to connect my love of handheld gaming to console quality titles much like my other handheld loves such as the PS Vita. The difference maker here is Valve's ability to not sacrifice the game's performance to make it run on the device. I was pleased by titles both past and present as I ventured into uncharted territory.

Matty, the "easiest" way to play GamePass on that would be to add Microsoft Edge as a non-steam game.
MS officially supports cloud gaming on Linux via the Linux version of the Edge browser.
The hardest part of that whole process would be installing Edge.
Indeed. I cannot see MS doing native support for a linux machine unless windows 12 has a Linux kernel. The steam deck is basically Valve's 'DirextX box' but for Vulkan.
And even that is easy. First time I did it I went through a guide on how to install it on Arch. I was messing around with pacman and after that I was even compiling my own builds. One system wipe later I just found it in the application installer and had it up and running in 30 seconds flat.
@@JonGodcommadore65 Well put, the Steam Deck is a portable VulkanBox
Being able to play what used to be pc only games on the go almost feels surreal. Love this thing
The novelty will wear off
@@vintageoriginallegit Maybe I guess but the practicality and convienance will not.
@@vintageoriginallegit people have said that about mobile/handheld gaming since the game gear and original Gameboy.
Sure sure
@@vintageoriginallegit not for me, this is my first PC and probably will be my only one for quite some time!
SteamDeck is effectively a PC console, without the Windows bloatware. I am a PC gamer, but as I generally play indies or older games, I don't need top end graphics, this and it's future iterations are probably going to replace my desktop going forward as the most expensive Steamdeck is cheaper than even the cheapest gaming desktops. You can even install word processors and browsers and use it as your work PC.
Thanks to Proton mainly, Valve really nailed in that front. We really need to get rid of Windows and Valve has pushing it long time ago.
I just love Valve making that aproach.
@@moister3727
*"We really need to get rid of Windows"*
I would say it's a better approach to just give them competition, rather than "getting rid of them".
Nice man, know any good indie fantasy RPGS? Looking for something good to play that isn’t a AAA buggy mess
@@George-um2vc Well, not sure what kind of RPGs you prefer, so here's a scattershot:
ARPGs: Bastion, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Grim Dawn, Hand of Fate, Titan Quest, Torchlight 2
Tactics RPGs: Fae Tactics, Fell Seal Arbiter's Mark, Divinity Original Sin 2, Monster Sanctuary, Wargroove
Story Heavy Roguelites: Children of Morta, maybe Loop Hero?
@@DiMacky24 I prefer medieval fantasy but can enjoy other things too, I love the Witcher and Elder Scrolls and KOTOR, I prefer games that do not hold your hand and are difficult where you have to be an investigator to progress through the story such as The Witcher 1 and Morrowind..
Ahhhh, this makes so much sense. I always thought Matty’s love for Mega Man Battle Network oddly specific. But now that I know that he played handhelds almost exclusively growing up, that explains it.
Handhelds are easily my favourite kind of console, still carry my vita and 3ds around the backward compatibility is just fantastic and emulators too are a real plus.
@@lolcat I came to the party late. I grew up with the original Gameboy and that *thing* left such a bad taste in my mouth for handheld gaming, I just wrote off every handheld for decades. And then the pandemic happened, I started getting really bored, and wanted some projects. Blah, blah, blah, I ended up buying several GBA, DS lites, DSi XLs, several 3DS systems, and a Vita to polish it off. Now I play them more than either my Series X or PS5 for the exact reasons you said: the backwards compatibility. Once modded, the 3DS and Vita are beasts. I have slowly started to play my current gen consoles more and more but for a few years there, those handhelds were glued to me.
I will say that one of the benefits of not touching any of the handhelds for about two decades is I have amazing libraries that I never touched. It’s like discovering 8 different consoles at once. Going back and playing through every Fire Emblem ever made (including the fan translations of GBA and Super Famicom games) has been a ball.
The fact that persona 4 golden is verified on the steam deck warms my hearth a lot... is like the perfect combination between the vita and PC gaming and I love it, hopefully valve can produce more of these to a worldwide audience
Steam deck is the best platform to play JRPGs.
Got mines 2 months ago and the fact it can legitimately play PS4 and greater quality games and doesn't sound like a jet engine - i'm truly amazed how far technology has come in just 5 years. This device is the start of something special.
how does it fair for battery life?
@@poxy1000 not great
@@arminius504 next-gen batteries should hopefully alleviate the problem for future versions of Steam Deck
@@poxy1000 it's not terrible either. Most people are playing at home. So just keep it plugged in when you're playing demanding games. If you are on the go, unless your playing elden ring, most indie games or emulated games you will get around 4 hours or more if you use the right settings. Which is plenty if your on a car ride or plane trip. Even more if you bring along a beefy battery bank.
50% get the e good fan, other 50% get the cheaper fan which is loud.
All versions come with a carrying case, Matty. The pouch for the charger is what comes extra from the 512GB version. Not a problem at all.
I’ve having a blast with my Steam Deck so far, and everything I wanted to play worked out of the box or with little tinkering.
I'm loving my Deck too matty. Glad to see you are too. Choice paralysis is there for me too. I have 62 games and like a million emulated games including ps3 games lol
Heads up, every steamdeck comes with a case, the only thing the most expensive one comes with is the biggest SSD and the “etched” glass for glare. Look up some videos on games running on the SSD vs an SD card expansion and it’s pretty similar. Glad you like the system matty!
from what i know the highest model decks case is very slightly different
@@jeremymerry7967 yep slightly is the key word. You get a colored logo plus a white interior. It’s the same shell.
Yeah I would have got the base model if I knew about load times earlier but I didn't want to cancel my preorder so it is what it is.
Not only that but the difference in performance between a cheap micro SD and a really expensive one is minimal.
I really can't complain though, the thing became my main rig except for when I want to play fps games with a mouse and keyboard.
Well defined review, I have watched almost all steam deck coverage and can say yours is one of the best.
Love your take, and agree completely. Awesome to hear such good feedback on game I'm looking forward to play. Had mine for two months and absolutely loving it. May upload about it and just talk about the games I've tried, but love hearing your experience :D I've been trying mostly non-green checkmarks xD
As someone of a similar age I am exactly the same with my handheld love. I grew up attached to my SP and then my DS, PSP, Vita etc and still love to play things on a handheld where possible. I had 3 older brothers growing up so the tv was never free for me which made handhelds the perfect solution. My steam deck has been despatched and I can’t wait for it to get here.
I have to agree, handhelds are hands down my favorite too. Come to think of it some of my fave games are not in handheld options however, my favorite memories were playing games in handheld! Definitely will get a Steam Deck, but not right now.
You know he's serious when it's Fallout he plays, that shit hits hard sometimes. I'm willing to give 76 a go when I get the chance
He runs pretty decently on the deck, I'll play it every once in a while on my deck.
Ill admit im from WV so i might be a little bias but 76 wasnt as bad as people made it out to be and theyve put quite a bit of work into it.
Fo76 runs great on deck. I Play it every day now cause it's so easy to pickup and do a quick daily quests run
I play it on the deck almost everyday
@@1sheldon does it still work? My deck comes tomorrow and I noticed it says it isn’t supported on steam’s site
As an I.T. guy I just ordered the 64GB emmc and swapped the drive for a 1TB. I also added SD card for retro titles like N64/Dreamcast/gamecube/wii/WiiU. Runs like a dream.
Nice Mattie I think this is how I’ll get into pc gaming in the future , for both new and old games
I have no interest in SteamDeck, but as a Linux gamer it's *awesome* to see so many game journalists appreciate that the platform is completely viable. That the Deck even exists is a very, very good thing.
I’m loving my steam deck so far. I’ve never been able to fully get into pc gaming because I get stiff after a couple hours of playing at the computer. I love handheld gaming and I’m a huge rpg fan so it’s amazing to be able to enjoy all these rpgs that aren’t on the switch like persona 4 golden.
Same I have to wait till q4 though but I’m excited
I’m happy for Steam Deck’s success. This is important, it provides a nice bridge between console and PC gamers.
I’m not buying one this time but I’ll be down for the Steam Deck 2
I am also curious how the aftermarket accessories will develop, as Valve is very open to it and even gave the 3D printing data for free. And Valve is also open to the idea of other manufacturers who will use Steam OS on their device. We live in a very interesting time.
Yes and with the specs of AMDS next gen Phoenix apu it'll be pretty powerful too.
Steam deck 2 in 5-8 years probs lol
@@DarthRaver-og7qq exactly
@@DrunkVolcano Unlikely. A 8 year cycle for a handheld PC? Ridiculous! At max 4 years. But likely faster, maybe each 2 years an upgrade, even if it is just better screen and more drive space only.
With the open architecture as a PC platform and probably alternative hardware manufacturers, it is likely that new Steam Deck iterations happen much more frequently. Valve said themselves they want do this, it is not secret.
And given it is a PC platform, the compatibility isn't lost with a new CPU or GPU upgrade, or any other upgrade on the device.
I can't believe how this thing has transformed PC gaming into a handheld form factor so well... The trackpads and Steam OS 3 are revolutionary and I don't say that lightly
Just got my Steam Deck yesterday! Been waiting for a true upgrade to the portable experience that I had with my DS and PSP. Switch was close but this is what I was really looking for
God I can't wait! Mine is supposed to arrive July-Sep and I am super excited!
Mine comes friday 🙌
This has been a looooong week
@@bluepill8077 oh man I bet it has been brutal! How far ahead of time did you get your finalization email to complete payment?
@@matthewbarrios1028 got the email last Thursday, so 1 week 1 day turn around
So glad I got my reservation for this coming in Q3, going all in with this.
Man, your videos have been a constant for me for a long time now and I am still absolutely blown away by the quality of your videos. It is clear you are so dedicated to your craft. How you aren't working at IGN or something by now is beyond me
I’ve got my reservation for q3 2022 for the most expensive deck. I cannot wait! I’ve got a huge back catalogue of games I either want to replay, or play for the first time. I recently picked up Assassins creed Black Flag (one of my favorite games ever) on switch, and being able to play it on my couch hand held is something else. I turn on the tv and just tune in and out between the game and whatever I’m watching. The steam deck is gonna be an awesome addition to my gaming collection
I'm most excited for the Steam Deck and want it to succeed and do you know why?.. Because a Switch Pro will not fix the fact that Fallout 4, NV, 3 and many other games that are great and don't require a ton of horsepower don't exist in a handheld form factor. Safe to assume the steam deck is great for basically all games that go on sale for $5 on Steam.
This. The “switch tax” is horrendous.
even if those games got ported over to the switch they would go for 29.99 and rarely go on sale. Im fed up with paying for games i already own which is why im done with the switch.
@@junkbot2.1 correct. The switch tax is insane. And Nintendo/developers know people will pay for it. I mean look at terraria on switch lol. $30 while everywhere else it’s like $5-$10
Just put in my reservation for a 256gb deck, I feel the same way about the Fallout games, I personally like the Civilization games as well. It will be nice to hang out and watch tv while I play some Civilization VI.
@@stevemiller7980 steamdeck is a game changer man! You’ll love it! I play mine all the time and it’s great being able to move my save files back and forth
I want one so bad. I'm tired of consoles being hard to buy nowadays.
I ordered 40 minutes after pre-orders went up in July and just received it on the 8th of this month... Feel so bad for anyone who wasn't in the know about it when the pre-orders came around.
@@Xnetteom I reserved the $650 one on July 30th, Im guessing ill have to wait til september....fingers crossed lol it says (july-september)
@@gregnice5072 you probably have it by now, how is it?
Been loving the deck. Just completed Zelda Minish Cap for the first time and going onto Fallout new vegas now!
Definitely going to have to try to acquire one of these.
Mine is coming in June and have a similar use case as you as work in IT/Cyber security thanks for a balanced helpful review
the best source for gaming news and speculation
That’s for the insight! so down to get one!
Great video mate 👍🏻
I got the deck purely for Oblivion and New Vegas and they both run so well. I almost never dip below 60 frames on either of them. If I do, it isnt even noticeable. I have played Oblivion so many times through on PC but playing it on the deck honestly just brings the nostalgia back and it makes it so much more fun to play honestly.
Just a shame that Oblivion has PC controls and doesn’t accept a game pad format on the deck
@@Evanz111 i mean out of the box, oblivion played just fine, just turned the game pad to always on mouse for dialogue and shops, easy
Mine will be here next week… can’t wait!!!
Not only is the video making me want one but reading these good comments about it has encouraged me to go ahead and order one when Monday rolls around!
Awesome review, mine is coming in October, and I got it specifically for fallout 3/new vegas and swotor. Can't wait.
the cheaper options have the carrying case too… it sounds like you’re implying only the most expensive one has one which is not true
512 has the etched anti glare glass, which is the only reason I or anyone should get it since SD cards work well and are cheap
@@bluepill8077 yep, but some ppl dont like it they say it makes the colors muted
I remember on the website it said only the highest tier had the case??
@@theorangecandle The highest tier just has a different case, but all tiers come with a case. For the 512GB model case, the logo on the outside has a different color, different color for the zipper handles and different lining/color inside. Also an extra little pouch is included for the power supply.
Quality wise all cases are the same and have identical functionality.
@@theorangecandle you read wrong lol, if you ordered the 512 for for that reason *alone* you just got fooled! maybe thats what happend to Matty lmao
Not into handhelds but I am officially intrigued for the first time about one since the original Gameboy (the reason why I never got one? I wasn’t into Nintendo games at the time).
I’ll keep my eye on it in the future to see how it handles certain upcoming titles - just in case my PC can’t run them.
As a Linux gamer for over 5 years, the Steam Deck is fantastic. The rapidity of development of Proton/Steamplay(which the deck uses to run Windows games) since the Steam Deck was announced has been amazing including AMD FSR for almost every game on steam (even ones that don't support it) using the ProtonGE fork . The development of MESA and Vulcan drivers has also greatly accelerated. I wan't to eventually buy a deck for myself but just the interest that it's sparked in Linux gaming really makes me happy. Elden Ring i get 60 fps at 4k on high. Witcher 3 is 60 fps 4k on ultra, Path of Exile runs 100% maxed and never dips below 60 even in Delirium maps(About 10% better performance then I got in windows 10), and Cyberpunk i get 60 fps @ 1440p FSRed up to 4k. Before the steamdeck I had to run through a few hoops to get decent performance but now it's so good. I'm thinking once they release their next version of Steam OS for PC people will actually be much more inclined to check it out since the deck has opened so many people's eyes.
You handle it like your first born, I get that. I remember when I reserved my N64 at Toys R us, and finally got it home. I would kiss it good night right on the expansion pack door.
I have a feeling I might be reliving thise days again.
I feel that certain type of games really shine on the Deck. For example Resident Evil HD remake is awesome on this thing. Haven't played it in years and would never see me playing it in front of a monitor or tv but on the Deck I'm doing now my third play through in a row. It's just so casual and that's great.
Matty, thanks for the video.
Ive been playing control for the first time since it was featured in the Steam Deck marketing, and it's mind blowing!
Im so much looking foward to play Trails in the Sky on the deck. The trails games are just such a good fit with gaming on the go. I dont get it why they're not on the switch by now.
I got mine 2 weeks ago. Saddly I haven't been able to play much. But when I do have time I'm loving it.
Amazing video, Matty. I was just wondering: now that you are playing through trails in the sky trilogy will you be playing the rest of trails series? Like the crossbell arc and rest of the erebonia arc?
I cant wait till it comes to Australia. Youve helped my decision on purchasing this 😁
honestly, the part about being tied to the desk hits so hard. I'm a developer, and honestly my gaming pc these last two years has mostly remained untouched, its why I'm saving for a deck.
Great video, i had the same issue with the downloads and i just limited the speed to 30mb/s that way the cpu can rest while uncompressing those files and the fan is dead quiet now, also check rogue legacy 2 config, it supports 16:10 aspect ratio ;)
My wait time was pushed to October, buddy. Still excitedly waiting, though.
I'm just about ready to order one. I've thought it sounded so awesome since it was announced.
For me, Vita is generation 3-5, plus select 6 collections, and specific 7 cross-platform games. Steam Deck is Gen 6-9, even though it can do anything. Between those two and the Switch, and the fact I can press a button to turn this thing into a full on desktop... I'm floored. I love this thing. It finally came in the mail, 4 days ago, I ordered it last August. At long last. Worth the wait.
I hear Trails music. :-)
Well, I'm not into handheld gaming anymore but I find it fascinating that you can now play most of your PC games on the go. I'm also excited to see this enormous improvement for Linux gaming thanks to Proton. I will set up a new Steam Machine for my living room eventually. :D
Great video but I think you are wrong about getting the most expensive one. You are really only paying for more memory which can be upgraded anyway through the SD slot. It might be a slight downgrade on load times but it's a huge money save.
Yeah. I pretty much knew that when I ordered my 512, primarily due to the premium anti glare etched glass. I was willing at the time paying for what seemed like a device from the future.
Salutations Mr Matty!! 👌
I just fired up Fallout 3 on my steam deck, then Fallout NV, i was stunnrd, they worked perfectly, i was sitting in my recliner playing my fallout games, worth every penny.....oh and did i say you can also connect your series s controller and the games use them automatically......love it
The Vita crawled so the switch can walk
The switch walked so the Steam Deck can run
The Steam Deck ran so the Switch Pro can Sprint whenever we get it lol
Great video love your take. Super excited for Steam Deck - after Q3.... sigh
Carry case comes with every deck . I feel you about the spoilt for choice element. I have emulators, epic store (via heroic launcher) and a terabyte micro SD.
Super happy
As a longtime Vita fan, it's bittersweet seeing the success of the Switch and current popularity of the Steam Deck. Years ago the narrative was that nobody wanted AAA experiences on the go.
I'll be getting one tomorrow
Mine comes tomorrow 🙌
I will already do my review:
It flippin rocks
Mine too I'm excited
trails in the sky the 3rd is fantastic! Kevin story is amazing in this game!
As a fellow content creator (smaller caliber obviously) but totally feel and echo the separation of my desk and gaming :)
The steam deck is so good. Absolutely love the steam controller so I’m glad people are actually appreciating their hardware now.
I can't wait to get my hands on the steam deck Q3 last time I checked which was switch from Q2...
Probably because of Gabe giving away all those free systems!!!
I don't know that I would agree with going for the most expensive model. For one, it sounds like Matty doesn't know that all of the Steam Decks come with the carrying case, the 512Gb version just has a special case with a different logo and interior. I preordered the 256Gb, and almost regret it now, I kind of wish I had preordered the 64Gb and then upgraded the internal SSD myself, as many others have done. It is cheaper to do it that way then to order the 256Gb. But I am not about to lose my place in the queue just to save a little bit of money. I have heard mixed things about the different displays, but I don't know that I would personally care, and if you don't have the other screen to compare to, you will probably like it either way. I have played on a friend's Steam Deck, and it is only the 64Gb, but the display looked just fine to me. I don't expect to be playing it outside or anything, so I don't think glare will be an issue for me, personally. That's just my 2 cents on the matter.
But it's really not. The 512 you have the anti glare glass and you can throw in a 1tb card anytime. If you like to tinker I guess go for the 64gb but why? The 512 has enough space for the time to play the games you want without going through bs. Don't see the logic at all. Yeah you can 2tb but why? Just uninstall games if you need space.
@@darkheathen6765 I would agree that you can just uninstall games. Why would I go cheaper? I'm an engineer, and I could save a significant amount of money that I could put towards games, accessories, etc. If you are not in any way technically savvy, don't open it. I don't think you would need to be too technically inclined to open it and swap the drive, and from what I remember, Valve would still do warranty repair as long as it is sent back with the original parts. I personally don't see the risk, but that's me.
And I don't see the anti glare screen being worth $200. You can get the 256gb SSD for $45, and I think I would get a 1tb SD card either way, whether I got the 64 or the 512. So for me, and I'm sure many people like me, it would make more sense to save the money and apply it to other things.
@@KuittheGeek We all make mistakes in the heat of passion jimbo. I went for the 256Gb model myself because I just presumed that you couldn’t upgrade the internal storage. Though I don’t really regret it. I’m way too scared of messing something up, like breaking something or not putting it together as sturdy as it shipped and things along that line. So I’d rather save myself from the headache, pay a little extra and buy a micro-sd once it’s needed.
I'm glad we have other options like Team deck. I do feel like this was suppose to be the next evolution to Nintendo switch and yet it's still not happening. I'm glad someone took a chance and made another portable console.
I don’t have a steam deck, but I want the project to succeed because I want to get a later iteration where there are less performance issues with playing the types of games that I want to be able to play on the go or not sitting at my desk and have longer battery life because it doesn’t have to work as hard with better power efficiency
Along the direction of getting away from the PC desk, how does it hook up to a TV.
Also, do Fallout 4 mods overwhelm it or can it handle them?
The answer to those two things will determine if I purchase it when it becomes available.
Official dock is releasing with a HDMI port on.
Fallout 4 works with mods, should be many gameplay videos on youtube.
It's already available I'd recommend you reserve it as soon as possible as you don't have to pay until it's your turn, it most likely wouldn't be available for straight purchase for a while.
@@lolcat The problem with that is I cannot guarantee that I will be able to afford it in October when they restock. If I could pay full price up front and just wait, I would. That isn't an option that I have seen anywhere. Just pay $5 and when your number gets called, hopefully you can afford it within 72hrs.
I've been playing Valheim on my Steam Deck. I put it off because I don't have time to get on my desktop as much because I have two kids. I've been loving it so far! I just pick it up and start playing. best investment I've made in a while
Never heard of these, might look into this once my wife and I get our switch
It’ll be a long time if u haven’t saved a spot for yourself
Handheld tale of two wastelands is now possible how crazy is that
I've had mine for 3 days, it's an amazing machine.
Dude. It's been a dream to place fallout new vegas on a mobile console.
Love my Steam deck and I wasn’t thinking I would given how I hate my Switch Lite. I played through Shadow of Mordor over about 2 weeks on the Steam Deck. I love that the controls just feel right and my hands don’t fatigue easily using it. I found the Switch Lite controls to feel so awkward and shit and my hands never got used to it and I couldn’t enjoy even a single game on the switch.
The screen isn’t very vibrant in colors but that maybe the game Shadow of Mordor which is just a very dark muted game.
I don’t normally have time to beat any game in 2 weeks while busy with work but the Steam Deck let me do it! I played in my car and on the go when I could get time in.
Also passes the wife test. I was able to play with AirPods lying in bed next to my wife while she was already asleep. Never woke her up. The buttons aren’t clacky or noisy…at least not yet.
Heat hasn’t been a problem. Battery life hasn’t been a problem for me as I don’t game for really long sessions and charge it constantly.
I have an international flight in 2 weeks and this thing will be awesome to have on a flight
I never imagined I’d see someone play SWTOR without a mouse and keyboard layout.
I feel totally the same way, once the day is over, I like to be away from my PC. So the Steam Deck will also a perfect portable console for me.
I had one preordered but I've had the last Win Max since it came out and loved it. The only reason I was going to get the steam deck was it was faster than the Win Max but when the new one was announced I made sure I had that day off and got in early. At first I thought I wanted to support Valve but then I realized I buy ALL my PC games through them anyway and on top of that Valve sells the Steam Deck at a loss. Also, just a few days ago it was revealed Valve is working with GPD to get SteamOS running on the Win Max 2. Pretty much every game outside of emulation I play on my WinMax 2 will come from Steam so yeah, they aren't loosing me by me canceling my steamdeck.
Hey Matty Great video good work, if you havent heard of it already there is an amazing emulator handheld called the Odin, and its a psp, GC, wii, ps2 and 3ds emulator on the go, and its cheaper than the steamdeck
This plays native games on top of any emulator. Not even mentioning its a fully functioning linux PC.
Big difference between an android device and a fully fledged pc. They’re not really comparable.
matty this is off topic but where did you get that super shadow in the corner?!
That is why fallout 3 got the update, they wanted Fallout 3 to be playable day 1 on steam deck. Good on them for doing that.
Are the download sizes for games the same on steam deck as they are on PC?
Yes. In the future they'll probably be less, developers will be able to only include deck files.
The Steam deck is a PC, so yes. It's the exact same thing you'd get on any other PC.
I can't wait for mine, I ordered on February 15th tho. I wonder when it will arrive. Did anybody here order in the more or less same and knows more than me?
Has Matty messed with or talked about the gpd, aya, or onexplayer handles?
I'm playing rogue legacy 2 myself!! Its an awesome game!!
YEAAAAHHHH MATTY! HAVEN’T EVEN WATCHED ALL THE VIDEO YET - BUT SMASHED THAT BUTTON AND BOOM! PREMATURE LIKE-ULATION!
Seriously though - been dying to hear your thoughts - getting my 512 on Monday! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
However! ROGUE LEGACY 2 is great on my 65” 4K TV through Series X, so… I mean… 🤷🏼♂️
That said, I’ve already purchased it for Steam and am looking forward to playing it on Deck.
Oh matty.. how lucky we were when you posted this video.. before the starfield delay today.. can t wait to see the disappointed face from your thumbnail today
I have friends who for a decade have been playing PC games by connecting their PC to their TV with an hdmi cable and sit on their couch while they play controller supported games.. never really understood why people still think of PC gaming as something you can only play by sitting at a desk with a keyboard and mouse…
I do both. PC is a platform. And a lifestyle. I like sitting at the desk. And also sitting on the couch via HDMI.
Some games on pc are ment for keyboard and mouse like arma 3 and most simulator games. Controllers are mostly used for triple A games.
@@PrototypeFreak89 I use my mouse on my couch :) just use a large book as my solid mouse pad. Works really well. It and my keyboard are BT wireless, so no irritating wires to deal with and make the lounge look untidy (or dangerous tbh, with the risk of tripping over cables…)
Most PC games, especially Steam games have controller support.
@@Collins7.3l yeah I could understand that but I guess it confuses me because Matty is more of a console gamer so I’m surprised he wouldn’t have the PC set up with the TV so he can play better versions of games or PC exclusives sitting on the couch!
Do all the doors in Trails in the Sky the 3rd you would be surprised how deep the game can get.
There is a youtube channel @graves hes been showing the steam deck is a BEAST for emulation. Id love to have it for fallout on the go.
I would love to purchase a Steam Deck when I save up enough,
but I don't know if they will be selling in my country
You got the right version!
I've been seeing vid on here saying "buy the 64gb version"
And I'm like......
WHY?!
You can only download like maybe 2-3 games...... Then you can run them Cuz you don't have any power to, lol
But I'm glad this came out.
I WANT ONE!!!
One of my concerns with this is how far over the sticks are. It really looks like it was designed for largish adult male hands, and I have tiny girl hands. That's one thing I like about the Switch actually is that the child-friendly controls work better for me. And also, being uh, middle aged now, my hands have issues with gaming too much, depending on controls. So yes, it's customizable, but you're not going to be able to move those sticks. IDK.
I'm sold since you can do Star Wars Old Republic on it
All versions of the stream deck comes with a carrying case..
If you don't mind thinking with hardware..the cheapest steam deck makes alot of sense..
You can get the steam deck..and a 1 TB SSD for less then the price of the 512 version...and Changing the SSD and putting on steam os..is pretty easy..
love your videos FO3 FNV on a hand held sold bro
Whats even better too is Vortex mod manager for fallout and skyrim games supports linux. So modded games on the go also
I just wish that they would make the Steam Deck available to purchase here in Australia.
