Now that the Steam Deck is nearing its Japanese release, I’ve been able to give the handheld a good going over and see whether it can handle modern Japanese games.
worked out fine, despite it having a much longer and letterboxed screen.
All in all, I was expecting the Steam Deck to not handle such a wide variety of games so well, especially the kind of games that fall outside of the Western PC gaming comfort zone. Talking of the PC gaming comfort zone, I felt compelled to check outAs for any real negatives here, there are a few but by no means serious issues. The two main faults are that the battery gets hammered very quickly in portable mode. It’s, but it’s noticeably quicker to drain compared to something like the Switch.
The last main issue is more of a design niggle of the Steam Deck and the dock itself. While the Steam Deck and dock are beautifully put together, the USB-C port is inexplicably on the top of the Steam Deck. This means the dock has a USB-C cable to attach. Why Valve didn’t choose to have the USB-C port on the bottom of the device with a corresponding pin in the base of the dock is beyond me.
I would argue that the Switch is probably a more practical handheld, both in terms of its battery life and dock setup, not to mention full compatibility with every game in its software library. However, the Steam Deck has finally brought my varied PC gaming library out into the portable open. It’s both a technical marvel and unnerving to behold. Unnerving in the sense that I never thought that the games in my Steam library would ever be playable on a handheld, especially at comparable fidelity.
Finishing up, you will definitely want to pick up a beefy SD card to increase the Steam Deck’s storage. As it’s based around downloading games from your Steam library, the more storage you have the better.across three variants; 59,800 yen with 64GB of internal storage, 79,800 yen with 256GB of internal storage and 99,800 yen with 512GB of internal storage. The Steam Deck Docking Station is also sold separately and costs 14,800 yen.
