More On: Steam Deck

It's been a long road, but it's finally the day where people can pay for the Steam Deck. This handheld has a lot of promise with it being open and ability to play a lot of games from your Steam library.

It's not going to play everything as the Steam Deck runs a Linux fork. it relies on a compatibility layer called Proton to run Windows only games on the system. You can install Windows on it if you wish, but as of this time, there's still some drivers missing to make this happening. Hopefully, it won't be too long.

We have one on order to review and hopefully we can get one soon. For now, there are a number of sites out there publishing their opinion on the Steam Deck and it's going to keep being improved upon with both the UI and more titles being updated to be playable on the hand held.

I'm hopeful by the time it reaches my hands, many of the bugs and UI issues will be ironed out that's being brought up by the reviewers out there. I have a lot of games I want to play it with and even with some of the things I'm seeing, it still looks like a great piece of tech.
