That’s cool.

Should be any handheld in general, but I guess it's hard for Steam to see the difference between a Windows handheld and a desktop PC.

For Deck owners this could be a godsend on how well the game runs. A small addition that could even encourage people getting a Deck if the reviews are consistency good.

Valve keeps doing cool shit with Steam.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Smart move. I also noticed a few weeks ago it now tells you when someone on your friends list is playing on Deck.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Love it.

 

[ReBurn]

I like it. Maybe I won't need to spend as much time on protondb trying to figure out how games will run on deck

The other handhelds better start using Steam OS .

Love the little QoL additions

 

[El Muerto]

Cool. I see it on some of my reviews. And should help weed out reviews where people criticize how poorly a game runs and primarily play on their deck.

Steam is the only reason why I‘m still into gaming. Every other platform sucks so bad these days, but Steam and indies save the entire hobby for me.

Valve's sneak attack into console gaming continues. They have a huge opportunity to eat Microsoft's lunch.

Well, that AND the fact that "any handheld" could come with vastly different hardware settings, so the feature wouldn't really mean much.

This works because every Steam deck is the exact same in terms of hardware specifications.

SD is here to stay! Nintendo aint gonna like this.

Yeah, it's super cool that Valve is continuing to add these QoL features to Steam for Steam Deck users.

Also, I'm really looking forward to snagging a Steam Deck 2 whenever Valve decides to launch it (probably in 2026).

Do you think Steamdeck 2 will have PS5 Level Graphics?

Hard to say, but my hope is Series S level of perf/graphics with around 3h of battery life in more demanding games.
