The rumors are true! In fact, Valve introduced a new portable gaming device this Thursday! It is said that the so-called “Steam Deck” will actually be available in December 2021. The thing about it: Steam Deck should offer the highest gaming performance you can hold in your hands yet.
Pre-orders are possible from tomorrow Friday 16 July 2021 at 7 pm, prices start from 419 euros. Steam Deck combines your favorite games and Steam functionality into a comprehensive, powerful and portable package, as promised by Valve. Use your Steam library whenever and wherever you want.
Steam Deck can do that
Steam Deck is said to be powerful enough to run the latest AAA games smoothly and reliably. Controls must be comfortable and precise so that long gaming sessions are possible without compromise. In addition, the versatility of Steam Deck is a real advantage. Accordingly, the handheld device can easily be paired with peripherals in order to ensure playback on large screens – just like with a PC.
Especially cool: your library comes with you. Powering up the device, simply log in with your Steam account and instantly get full access to all Steam functions including your friends and partner lists. Strong and all around, as promised by Valve.
