Valve Announces the Steam Deck, a Portable PC Gaming Device
PC games have now gone portable with Valve’s newest gadget: the Steam Deck. The device will run Steam’s entire library and will begin shipping in December of this year, according to a tweet from the official Steam Twitter account.
Starting at $399, with increased storage options for either $529 or $649, the Steam Deck aspires to be a portable device that allows you to experience PC gaming on the go. It has a custom processor developed in partnership with AMD and will be able to run newly released AAA games. The starting price Steam Deck includes 64GB of storage and has a 40 watt-hour battery for approximately 7-8 hours of gameplay. While the device itself looks similar to a Nintendo Switch, the hardware included in the Steam Deck is more similar to a regular PC.
