Here, PC versions run surprisingly well over the Steam Deck’s Linux platform. The handheld more than stands on its own for playing AAA games at launch. It’s still enough to make some of the most demanding games beatable away from home. While players can appreciate the Deck’s working results from eight cores that run up to 1.6 GHz (as opposed to the PS5’s 2.23 GHz speeds).

This next-gen addition lets Valve’s portable keep up with upcoming games as they show up on Steam’s storefront. It actually shares the same AMD RDNA 2 architecture that powers PS5 and Xbox Series X games. The Steam Deck comes with a surprisingly big GPU for console-level graphics to-go. It’s astonishing to see how Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered translates so well from PlayStation’s 2014 console to the Steam Deck.
But also deliver smoother gaming experiences when players go further back in time with their libraries.

This worked wonders for running the latest AAA PC games without a full gaming PC or PS5. I expected nothing short of a CPU that matches – at times passing – the PS4’s 2.75 GHz speeds. The Steam Deck packs a custom AMD Zen 2 processor that runs up to 3.5 GHz. It’s a delight to see Steam Deck show this through hardware specs to back it up. On paper, Valve has engineered one of the most powerful handheld systems to date. In the same way the Nintendo Switch seamlessly lets users take their games, only the Steam Deck gets to scream, “name it and take it with you.” Punchy, Powerful, Portable Valve simply gives players maximum convenience with their libraries. I was shocked by just how light the Steam Deck was at 1.5 pounds, which made longer sessions easier without my arms wearing down. Over a few weeks, the Deck felt harder to put down and also easier to pack with its included hard case. Owners might be surprised at just how gargantuan the Steam Deck looks and feels next to more compact handhelds. The system still packs nicely in luggage, backpacks and even carry-ons for trips. I’ll admit to failing hard to stuff the Steam Deck in my back pocket. While the device stands on two prolonged handles that also house its customizable back bumpers. At 117mm x 29mm x 50.5mm, the Deck feels much bigger than a Switch console. The sleek frame is built around a beautiful and glossy 7-inch diagonal LCD screen.
For a $900 CAD video game handheld with console-level hardware, it’s surprisingly thin. The device also sticks to black with a matte finish that feels premium. But it’s a familiar sight that follows the likes of Nintendo Switch, Game Boy, PlayStation Vita and (dare I say) Wii-U controller. Instead, the Steam Deck takes on a traditional “candy bar” layout. Valve’s first portable console doesn’t make any bold design choices.
#DOOM II RPG COMIC BOOK UPGRADE#
It’s a simple but much-needed upgrade for portable gaming. The Steam Deck – in nature – is a PC that’s small and powerful enough to play existing games on the go. But developers still had to compromise a bit by downsizing games with weaker hardware. Nintendo gets credit for wish fulfilment by bringing Resident Evil, DOOM and Assassin’s Creedto the Switch handheld. Laptops still manage to deliver high-budget PC games. The Steam Deck isn’t history’s first portable to run AAA (high-budget) console games.
