3 Alternative Steam Decks, Handhelds That Can Play PC Games

Suara.com – Valve introduce Steam Deck as a portable gaming device or handheld. The presence of this device is intended to be able to play game PC from the Steam library on mobile from anywhere.

In form, the Steam Deck is indeed similar to the Nintendo Switch. Both also have a dock that can be connected to an external display. Thus making this device a hybrid, portable and desktop.

However, they both have different target markets. Steam Deck seems to be targeting PC gamers who want a portable device to play their games that are already in the Steam library.

The presence of this handheld from Valve received a positive response. In a short time, Steam Deck orders sold out in the US and UK markets recently.
