  • Verified titles play without any hassle, Comfortable for longer periods of play (if not a bit heavy), Aggressively priced for the hardware offered, Limit frame rates and TDP to extend battery life at a single button press, Dock and expand your experience
  • Very small selection of Verified titles available at launch, At nearly a pound and a half, this is one beefy portable console (50% heavier than a Nintendo Switch), Battery life doesn't come close to the promised 'eight hours' for most instances, Experimen

  • Valve's Steam Deck is a powerful, flexible gaming handheld that feels great and lets you take your games on the go. Just don't expect it to last too long, and know that some games may not work perfectly out of the box...

  • When the Steam Deck is living up to its promises, it's absolutely incredible. Playing GTA 5, God of War, and other modern games on the go is an absolute joy, and the hardware and controls feel good to hold even though it's a big chubby boy of a handheld...
