Official Steam Deck thread. Steam handheld gaming device.

The resale value of Steam Decks is very low right now, especially with the current Steam Sale. I sold my 256gb Model with a 512gb SD card for $400. Any lower, and I would have kept it or given it away to a family member.

played cyberpunk wasnt feeling it
steam the goat gettingg back my money

So I should take advantage of this sale and skip the Rog Ally? I figured I’d cop the 256g model so I get the screen & ssd without having to open it. I’m leaning strong towards that direction.

What are you trying to do with the deck?
Like play play gamepass games, if so the ally is a better choice.

I’m trying to play games all the way to 360 era. What are the issues with gamepass on the deck? I know you can install windows on the deck for that are there any known issues?

No, issues just inconvenient that you can't download your games to the deck.
The ally can run the games especially the 360, PS3 games better.
I have run a couple of games on the deck the fan gets loud, deck gets hot, but they run pretty well
If you go steam deck you could try getting the 64gb and then upgrade the storage yourself, if you want to save yourself some money.

Good info. Yeah I wanted to avoid opening it myself that’s why I was gonna get the 256 model. The deck running hot is a lil concerning, but I’m nervous about the long term viability on ASUS end. Does Steam run well on the Rog?

Let me correct myself I meant when it runs PS3 games. Running PC games it works fine, hardly any fan noise.

I love my Deck. I got it so I can play Itch.io indie games on it too. It's easy

 

[Leasy]

Harry Potter running well on the steam deck

starting playing some of my larger games via streaming on Moonlight. It's way better than Steam remote play. No noticeable input lag and verry minimal stuttering.

I recommend everyone try it out
