Excited and have been reading a ton here and elsewhere, the sale just pushed me into finally getting one.
I have a pretty decent gaming PC so curious to try out remote play. Also really into Starfield currently but have it via Gamepass, but read I can do the xbox cloud gaming merhod which ‘seems’ to work pretty well?
Read rumors about possible new hardware will feel dumb if better model comes out soobish.
Cheers!
I think Valve just said that there’s no plans for a more powerful model in the next year or two. Granted that leaves room for a better display or battery.
I wouldn’t worry though. I adore my Steamdeck.
I’m so happy to hear them say that. I’ll be getting on next week according to my wife.
I will only play at home in bed or on the couch, so battery isn’t a concern of mine. I was just worried a better spec cpu would make it’s was into the deck like a week after I bought it.
I was gaming a lot on my switch, but I didn’t want to start a game only to start over on the steam deck.
It’s great for sure, my only complaints are the grips should be wider, you have to really bend your fingers to use the back buttons, it could be a lot more comfortable. Also the vent at the back is too close to the fingers on the right, along with the previous issue, your fingers want to rest on it. So a revised model in the future would be great for things like that, the display is fine imo, a bigger battery would obviously always be welcome.
I recommend getting the back paddle rubber bumpers that you can stick on. I believe it’s play vital on Amazon that sells them for 10-12 bucks. Totally worth it, I have the bigger bumper ones on and it’s a noticeable ergonomic difference.
