I love handheld gaming. I just love the idea that I can play any game I want everywhere I go. That’s why I bought the switch 3 years ago and until I played with it almost daily.

I have a decent gaming pc with 5600x rtx 3070 combo and I can play everything with 60fps on my 1080p monitor.

Recently I bought a ps5 as it had a very nice discount for black friday and I had a ps4 for exclusives. I was amazed how nice and crisp ps5 games look on oled. And now I am playing gow ragnarok and gran turismo 7. Before I made the decision to buy the ps5 I wanted to connect my pc to my tv from living room but it is so frustrating to do that and a very long 2.1 hdmi is so expensive as I decided that I should not bother anymore and I also have the exclusives.

After playing games with very nice details on my ps5 I started to find my switch graphics and performance very outdated and I feel that a steam deck can fill that void but I am going to lose the switch exclusives. Also the battery life is not that great on the deck.

I don’t want to make a decision right now as my bank accout still recovers from recent acquisitions but I am still thinking if I should stop and be happy with what I have, sell my switch and buy a deck or just buy the deck and don’t think about it.

    I had a pc / ps4 / switch I completely got rid of my ps4 I was only using to play dark souls 3 and Elden ring now I play those on my deck. I still play my switch for animal crossing and ironically play vampire survivors and brotato more on my switch mainly because it’s more comfortable to play in bed.

    I think it’s A great purchase. I went on a Trip over the summer and I was able to play all the main games I play on the go.

    The only thing you really sacrifice is lower graphics to run games in a more stable frame rate. But i think for what you get it’s a fair trade off.
