When Valve unveiled the Steam Deck, I was taken aback by its sheer size. Steam Deck in official case (Image credit: Miles Dompier | Windows Central) But in a market dominated by the success of the Nintendo Switch, who is the target audience for this? Valve's foray into the portable gaming space promised convenience and power, launching with a Linux version of Steam's proprietary operating system. That's where Valve's exciting handheld console, the Steam Deck, comes in. The ultimate dream for many players is a device that allows them to experience the games they love on the go with impressive visual fidelity, respectable framerates, and virtually no latency. It's why we see so many conversations and rumors concerning a fabled Nintendo Switch Pro model. Nintendo's once ambitious hybrid console doesn't have the hardware capabilities to run many current games at 60FPS. In a post-Xbox Series X|S and PS5 world, players want and, quite frankly, expect a certain level of performance from newer titles. That said, you do need the real-world space to store physical game boxes, but Switch game cases are slim.While fans were initially happy with the performance of most Nintendo Switch titles, expectations have shifted since the console's launch back in 2017. It means you don't have to worry as much about conserving storage space or uninstalling games to make way for new ones. While physical games will place some files on the internal storage, like updates and save data, the bulk remains on the cartridge. When you buy a physical game, you don't have the same issue.

This is especially true for mammoth games like The Witcher 3: Complete Edition, which is 32GB. If you consider that Breath of the Wild is 14.4GB, you can quickly see how a handful of games will easily fill that space. When you download a game from the eShop, it will occupy some of that storage space. The Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite have 32GB of internal storage, while the Switch OLED offers 64GB.
