Steam Deck Review Roundup: An Impressive Portable PC
Valve's Steam Deck has finally released, and reviews suggest that the hardware successfully delivers on its promise of portable PC power. The handheld console, which was announced back in July 2021, lets users take the entire digital Steam library of games with them wherever they go. Steam Deck's February 25 release date has arrived at last, allowing users to give feedback on Valve's latest gaming venture.
Combining the power of a PC with the portability of a handheld, the Steam Deck is able to run a huge variety of different Steam titles. The system's hardware can handle incredibly demanding games, like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and a wide variety of controls can make even the most complex title accessible. Not every game can run on Steam Deck, however, so Valve is using a verification system to show gamers which titles the innovative console can access. Valve has also announced that a dock accessory is in the works, allowing users to connect the handheld to a larger display, with the release of the Steam Deck dock rumored for later this year.

The small system can run demanding games like Red Dead Redemption 2 without issue, allowing these games to travel anywhere. While the Steam Deck is larger than its Nintendo Switch competitor, it is apparently still small and light enough to carry easily. However, some criticism has been aimed at the Steam Deck's short battery life, loud fan and small storage capacity. A selection of Steam Deck reviews can be found below:
