If I have a switch and a PS5, is the steam deck worth buying?

[–] AverageCakeSlice 15 points 1 year ago (4 children)

As someone who owns both and a PC as well, yes. Playing my steam library in bed is incredible. Also, if you have a larger library, it can be cheaper to just buy a Deck than re-buying everything on a different platform.

Cool, thanks for the advice.

So, you can basically play any PC game on the Steam Deck? And the performance depends on the game?

I haven’t found anything personally that I want to play that I can’t play as I play a lot of indie games and singleplayer games. Proton is pretty incredible. YMMV though. If you play games that heavily rely on mouse and keyboard and twitch reflexes, or any game that has strict anti-cheat/DRM, you might have a suboptimal experience or not be able to play it at all.
