![]() But there are also dual trackpads on the front, and four extra control spots on the back. There are controls galore, which sets the Steam Deck apart: dual analog sticks, shoulder and triggers, four buttons on one side, a D-pad on the other. It'll be interesting to see how many games it's compatible with, but Valve promises it'll work with many of its AAA titles. ![]() The Steam Deck taps directly into Steam's store and library, making it a download-only handheld device. This isn't the first time someone's tried to build a PC gaming handheld: Razer did it way back in 2013, and Alienware's Concept UFO promised a similar idea in 2020. The separately sold dock (price TBA) has a lot of ports: DisplayPort 1.4, USB 3.1, two USB 2.0, HDMI 2.0 and Ethernet. Like a Switch, the Steam Deck can dock in front of a TV or monitor via USB-C, but according to Valve it also works with any powered USB-C adapter or dock - which sounds promising. The 7-inch, 1,280x800-pixel LCD screen is the same size as the upcoming Nintendo Switch OLED, with nearly as many pixels. But there's also a microSD card slot to expand storage. It has its own custom AMD chip with a Zen 2 CPU and RDNA 2 graphics, along with 16GB of RAM and internal storage ranging from 64GB to 512GB (64GB is $399 256GB is $529 512GB is $649). Will it be the perfect handheld gaming PC? It's hard to tell from a distance. The Steam Deck looks very Switch-like, no surprise, and its relatively low price means it's directly aimed at console buyers.
