Which is what a lot of people are likening the hardware design to. No word if it supports shovelfuls of AA batteries like the Sega Game Gear from 1990. Said dock will connect the system to a TV while charging the “40 watt-hour battery.” The latter of which is a fancy way of saying “It’ll run Control or Star Wars: Fallen Order for about two hours.” The maximum battery life, if you’re just streaming stuff or playing “smaller 2D games,” is promoted at 7-8 hours. That’s sold separately for an as-yet-undisclosed amount of money. The Steam Deck does actually come with an ethernet port, which is sure to make the Smash Ultimate players who spent years begging for one on the Switch to feel some kinda way.
I’ve personally used my Steam Link a lot and, at least connected via ethernet on my home network, even that old thing worked a treat. It seems you can download games from there directly or stream them similar to the Steam Link (a little guy for your entertainment center Valve used to sell).
Meaning it ties directly into your Steam library. It’s basically just a gaming laptop with analog sticks. On the bright side, it plays a damn sight more games than either of those systems. You could absolutely kill a man with this thing you wouldn’t even need to get creative. The device is very reminiscent of the Nintendo Switch - only roughly twice as heavy according to the specs. This time it’s a handheld (though I use the term loosely) starting at $399 (though anyone actually using it will probably pay more than that). Today Valve dropped the news that it’s making yet another piece of black plastic: the Steam Deck.
