I hope your kids are not expecting high end gaming experiences and are happy with simple indie games (which usually are the better games anyways), because the SteamDeck cannot and never will replace something like an XBox.
- rimunroe 4y agoEh, for me it’s largely replaced my extremely beefy gaming computer. I use the Steam Deck for so many games, including AAA titles like the Final Fantasy VII remake. It’s a shockingly good little device.
- rimunroe 4y agoThis is a small selection of the games I’ve recently played on the Steam Deck and been surprised by how flawlessly they performed and played: - God of War - Elden Ring - Final Fantasy VII Remake - Forza Horizon 5 - Jedi: Fallen Order - Spider-Man Remastered
- izacus 4y agoSteam Deck comfortably runs high end AAA games like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and Cyberpunk 2077, in many ways with comparable performance of the base Xbox model. Which makes sense since the hardware is similar. So I have no idea what you're talking about, it can easily replace Xbox.
- sph 4y agoThis is one of those statements that are going to sound hilariously wrong in a few years, when third-party OEM will be able to put SteamOS on their custom hardware. The hard part was making Linux run games, and Valve has done it. Xbox, PS and Nintendo won't die, but there will be a fourth player, and if anyone has to die first, it'll be Xbox, due to shrinking mind share and lack of third party titles.
- sph 4y agoEDIT: I meant first party titles. The list of exclusives on SONY and Nintendo consoles demolish Xbox right now.
