Official Steam Deck thread. Steam handheld gaming device.

Im thinking bout buying the Oled version soon...any tips for me brehs


Why didnt u like it?

Decky Loader for your plugins / customization
Chiaki4Deck for PS remote play
EmuDeck for emulation

I feel like if I get a deck now, they’ll release some shyt soon since Xbox just had their announcement. I want one tho but I’m torn between my bad timing, switch 2 and more powerful handhelds on the horizon

SD has the best form factor in terms of functionality, but it was already a little under powered at launch if you wanna play AAA games.

The ROG or Lenovo Go are your best options for performance and online games. SD2 probably 2 years away.

Any of y’all know bout the Legion Go and how it compares to SD or ROG Ally?

It’s on sale for $600 (normally $750)

Breh you still ain’t bought something yet? You been asking what we think for months now fam.

The Legion Go 2 is supposedly coming this year. There will be the Rog Ally 2 & Rog Ally X towards the end of the year too possibly.

No rumors of a Steam Deck 2 anytime soon but if it does happen it won’t be until 2026 or 2027.

At the end of the day, you can’t really go wrong with any of them. It all comes down to what you want out of the device

Lossless Scaling working on the Steam Deck (very preliminary). I personally tried it on BF4 and Halo Infinite and it works.
