I’m trying to determine if I should get a steam deck. Money isn’t a problem. I just don’t know if I would realistically use it as I have all the consoles and do not have a steam account full of games. If a new game comes out I’m probably going to get it on console, and I have a switch for the 4-5 flights I take a year. Is there a type of game or use-case for the SD I might be overlooking? Or is it really designed for PC players to take their games on the go or couch play? Most of the reviews I’ve seen are people who already play PC, not seen any console-only people give their thoughts.

I already have a crazy backlog but gaming is my biggest hobby. I just don’t want to buy one to not use it.

    I’m a console gamer with a Steamdeck. I bought it specifically for going on holiday. My kushand and I usually rent a place for the summer and before I would drag my PS4 with me and he would bring his PC setup so we could play games.

    We use the Steamdecks now, it’s way more portable and you only need a few things to hook it up to a larger screen. Even when you bring a screen, it still saves a lot of space.

    I knew beforehand I wouldn’t use it THAT much so that isn’t a problem for me. Husband uses his deck way more than he thought he would, but he’s a PC player.

    I also use it when I have some hours to kill at work while waiting for an appointment.
