Valve’s biggest win with the Deck

That's their secret of success, and why it endures despite so many more powerful devices like the Legion Go or the Rog Ally X. They sold Steamdecks at a fraction of what they could, they keep it up-to-date, they have excellent customer service, and they made the process of purchasing games easy and

Do you guys take advantage of Xbox Play Anywhere if you have a PC?

Absolutely. I will always buy a game on Xbox if it’s Play Anywhere. My setup is built around it. PC in my office, Series X in the living room, ROG Ally X for on the go. Play Anywhere works like a charm.

Valve Says It's 'Hard at Work' on Steam Deck 2, but There's Still No Release Window

At same the wattage this is true but the nice thing about the Z2E handhelds is that they often have much larger batteries than the Steam Deck. The Ally X & Xbox ROG Ally X for instance has a 80W battery which is 60% higher than the Steam Deck OLED’s so you can play at a much higher wattage than the

I love my steam deck but I’ve got one huge problem

Probably a bit blasphemous to say in the Steam Deck subreddit, but the ROG Ally X has a left stick position that would likely work better for you. IMO comfort is king with handhelds so I would consider switching to a different handheld instead of trying to find solution for Steam Deck

Is $490 good for a used Xbox ally x??

Yes, are you sure that is not a ROG Ally X (2024)? $500 is still low for that.

Ist das Steam Deck 2026 noch der beste Handheld PC?

Kommt alles sehr auf deinen Geschmack und deine bestehende Library an. Meine Subjektive Wahrnehmung der Geräte: ROG Ally Z1E ~350€ Gebraucht gibt's das ROG Ally Z1E, welches mit Upscaling und einer (von einem selbst nachträglich verbauten) 80Wh Batterie einen gerne mal 4h Witcher 3 auf 1080p 60FPS s

I really want to like mobile gaming!

I have a 5090 gaming PC and a 120 inch screen I still find incredible value in my Rog Ally X because I travel frequently for work and it helps pass hotel time and flying. I think it’s just not a product for you or even marketed towards you and that’s ok. It’s got nothing to do with what we have in o

It sucks Valve distribution network being so limited. :(

The rog ally x is cheaper than the steam deck in India.

Steam Deck OLED vs Legion Go (S?) for couch gaming; am I missing a better option?

Nearly on every handheld you can install now either Steamos or Bazzite and you will have either same or very similar experience as steamdeck OLED, depends on the device. If you plan to play only indie or nonAAA games on it, OLED screen is big plus so steam deck would make sense. If you want to play

Is VRR important to you?

Used a Steam Deck for years.... when games would get tight in FPS, I would watch a studder and not be smooth. It drove me nuts. In fact, going from 60fps to 40 on a steam deck I found some games unplayable. I moved to a Rog Ally X with VRR, and watch FPS, the drop from 60 to 40-45fps is not really n
