Very cool, thanks!

I don’t understand the obviously part, I don’t know anything about a steam deck.

So you play your games on steam on the computer but you can also play them on the deck?

And the games sync between the deck and your PC cuz they’re both using steam?

Basically a steam deck streams you’re library onto a handheld device, I don’t know if the PC needs to be on or not though. It’s like playing PlayStation games remotely on PlayStation portal or game pass games on an android through the app except the deck is a dedicated device like a portal but plays more than just games bought through steam.

Oh sorry, but yes that’s right. You buy a game once on steam and then you can play it portably and your saves will sync between devices.

  No worries, I had no idea since i never having dug into the deck because I had a switch already, but that’s really cool.
  
  So the switch can play any game you can play on your PC?
  
  That’s pretty impressive, considering the limitations of the switch. They have like two graphically impressive cpu-intensive titles.

    The Steam Deck is a handheld Linux-based PC with a built-in game controller. The special Steam version of Linux (SteamOS) comes with software (Proton) that lets you run a lot of Windows games, and Valve have put some effort into helping/encouraging developers to get their games working with it.
    
    The Nintendo Switch is a closed system that can only play official Nintendo-licensed software. Even if you “jailbreak” a Switch, I don’t think that there’s any realistic way to get modern Windows games running on one.

    It’s not every single title but it’s a lot, I’d say a solid 85-90% of my library works. You can see the compatibility of any game on the Steam page. Most games with anti-cheat will break on it since it’s Linux based though. Other than that, it’s great for a ton of games.
