Man that article really made me think of the Larian BG3 XS debacle.
I hope this is just a bit overstated, because I don’t want to feel the pressure to buy an PS or build a PC.
I do want to buy a SteamDeck, and this only reinforces that decision though.
The pc portable space is gonna get really interesting in the next few years, the demand is clearly there
Steam Deck is already a prebuilt, portable computer, for the price of a console. I know I’m in the Xbox community but it’s never been easier to try a PC.
There will be more options, sure, but the fundamental limits on the performance of a handheld PC haven’t really changed since the steam deck launched 2 years ago.
We need either a big battery breakthrough or a big architecture breakthrough to actually push the space forward.
There are plenty of interesting games to play that don’t need super-powerful hardware, but the Deck doesn’t even handle all of those flawlessly. Case in point the Persona 3 remake that had very noticeable frame rate drops on the Deck.
I have a SteamDeck and really enjoy it. Even if you get the base model, you won’t be disappointed. I play way more of my Steam library now.
Going from Xbox to PC is way easier than leaving PS for it. If thats any consolation. I had to ditch my PS library and data.
