Can I run PC games on Steam Deck?
The Steam Deck is an excellent device for playing PC games away from your actual PC. It’s not the most portable handheld on the market (due to its size), but it connects seamlessly with your Steam profile and allows you to download games locally—if you have the storage space. While many games run great on Deck out of the box, this shift means there are some games that, while they may be great on a desktop PC, aren’t a great experience on Steam Deck. We want it to be easy for you to find great gaming experiences on Steam Deck, so we’ve designed a system to do just that.PC is also where you can really mod your games fully. Yes, other consoles can do it and so can Steam Deck, but it’s really limited compared to PC. PC is also just straight up the best performer out there, with high end PCs being able to handle 4K 240 fps or even 360+ fps.
Is a Steam Deck worth it as a PC?
If you want to play games on Steam but aren’t ready to invest in a PC or prefer a handheld, it’s absolutely worth it. You can also hook it up to a TV or monitor with a controller. The only real downside is that there are a very small handful of games that either aren’t compatible or maybe aren’t optimized for it. Steam has had a huge head start since 2003. Plus, its community features, achievements, reviews and mod support keep players extremely loyal. Even publishers prefer Steam, as they know that putting a game on there means more people will see it and buy it, even if Valve takes a bigger cut.
Is the Steam Deck like a portable PC?
The Steam Deck is a portable device all right. The Steam Deck is certainly a mobile device (which not all portable devies are), but it is a portable device by the definition of “portable”, namely “you can pack it with you with reasonable effort”. Steam deck is basically a pc originated system/gaming software. If you download steam on your phone, you can browse games. It’s bigger than the switch and I feel has way more options for games.
