The portable game machine "Steam Deck" that allows you to play PC games will be released on February 25!
I've been waiting! Valve's handheld game machine "Steam Deck" was announced in July 2021 and shocked gamers. Here, the release date has been decided on February 25th! Speaking of Steam Deck, it is a small computer that runs a Linux-based OS, but for some reason such a small machine excites me. I used to play around with Sharp's "Saurus" and "W-ZERO3". Steam Deck was originally scheduled to be released in December last year. However, due to a global chip shortage and supply chain issues, the launch was delayed until this year. On the other hand, new features have been announced during the postponement. "Dynamic cloud sync" means that all save data will be uploaded to the cloud before the device goes into sleep mode, and the game can be resumed on another computer. It's nice to be able to keep playing the game anytime, whether it's Steam Deck or PC. On February 25th, an email will be sent to the Steam Deck reservation holder, and it will be possible to purchase the reserved model. Initially, it will be released in the United States, Canada, the EU, and the United Kingdom, but it will be shipped to other regions later. The price has been announced from $ 399 (about 46,000 yen). When it comes to handheld game consoles, the Nintendo Switch is the first thing that comes to mind, but you can't miss the Steam Deck, where you can play PC games to your heart's content!
