Valve announced a game console called “Steam Deck” at an event it held a few months ago. This game console, which will rival the Nintendo Switch, was actually going to be released at the moment. However, the disruptions caused the delay of Valve’s game console. According to the latest statements, our meeting with Steam Deck will take place in February 2022.
Now, there has been a new development regarding the game console, which excites at least some of the players. The company, which created a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page for Steam Deck, was not a highlight in the information it provided on this page. According to the information provided by Valve, Steam Deck will not have any special games.
“This doesn’t make sense to us”
In the statements made by Valve, “It doesn’t make sense for us to release special games for Steam Deck. Because Steam Deck is actually a PC and needs to play PC games.” expressions were included. This statement is also a clear indication of the direction the company is planning with Steam Deck.
Valve will run a modified version of SteamOS on its Steam Deck console. While using this console, players will be able to see all the details in their Steam accounts and browse the Steam store. In addition, third-party software can be used on the Steam Deck. This feature reveals that the Steam Deck is actually a mini computer. This means that designing games specifically for Steam Deck will not be a significant development.
Gamers will be able to choose one of the 3 versions of Steam Deck. The technical feature difference between these versions will be due to the storage areas. E.g; You can choose a 64GB eMMC storage option for $399, or you can purchase a version with 512GB NVMe SSD storage for $649. . .
