![]() If you enjoy gaming and are considering a new console or PC, you need to check out Valve’s Steam Deck. My prediction boils down to timing, the combination of gaming becoming more mainstream, developers loosening their grip on console exclusive titles and improvements in crossplay creates a void for people who want to experience a console-like gaming experience with the freedoms associated with PC gaming. Game developers and Steam have solved this one recently as well, with huge improvements in crossplay functionality. Some people will have their entire friend group committed to one console specifically to be able to game together. This does, however, ignore the problem of playing with your friends. There are also some single-player based games from Sony that won’t be released on PC immediately, but many always live games will get same-day releases on the Steam storefront. For one thing, Nintendo has never ported any games to another device and shows no signs of doing so. With all these big name games no longer locked to one console, there will likely be less people buying a console for one specific game or series. More of a Microsoft fan? That’s fine too, with IGN reporting that Microsoft Game Pass is supported. Even juggernaut Sony titles like the God of War franchise have made the jump, according to Digital Trends. Everything from indie games like Stardew Valley to first person shooters like Back 4 Blood runs how I want it I’ve even been able to put together controller schemes for traditionally keyboard and mouse games like Creativerse and Civilization.ĪAA games that were once console exclusive are now getting released on PC. The reason is simple: I really don’t have to. I haven’t picked up another controller more than two or three times since I got my Deck in March. Personally, I notice little to no graphical differences on the Deck’s 7-inch display, and I’m able to play what I want on the go. However, the series S targets higher resolutions for display on TVs. Under the hood, the Deck boasts less overall power than even a Microsoft Series S, according to The Verge. So, what is this thing? Picture a Nintendo switch with a user interface close to that of a Playstation or Xbox… now add the PC game library available on Steam. Having watched the industry fairly closely since the early 2000s, Valve’s new Steam Deck is going to revolutionize the gaming world. Looking for something new to get stuck into? Here are the best PC games right now.As an older than average student for this campus, I’ve been around long enough to watch gaming evolve from a niche market to a worldwide phenomenon. We recently learned that despite the popularity and scarcity of its new handheld system, Valve has no plans to increase the retail price of Steam Deck. Still undecided on Steam Deck? In our Steam Deck review, we said: "Steam Deck is everything Valve promised, a handheld with all the potential of a PC and a huge library of games ready to go," giving it 4.5 stars out of 5. ![]() ![]() ICYMI, Valve boss Gabe Newell has confirmed that there are currently no plans for the company to introduce a game subscription service, like Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass or EA's EA Play, and Valve's latest update touched upon that, saying it has "worked closely to bring Xbox Cloud Gaming to Steam Deck users through the Microsoft Edge browser, and members of the community contributed to the Edge Flatpak that makes this accessible on Steam Deck." The update also detailed changes to the way the Steam Store displays on the Deck, and improvements to the keyboard and battery life. Elden Ring and Apex Legends are two examples of games which are taking advantage of this work, so far." "The two biggest anti-cheat services, BattlEye and Easy Anti-Cheat, now have a streamlined path for developers that choose to enable support for Proton and Steam Deck. ![]()
