Handheld gamers here?
Please note: you can get very decent FPS (around 45-60FPS) on Spider-Man Miles Morales on this device with 1280x800, low preset, FSR upscaling and Dynamic Resolution Scaling set to 60. Slightly lower FPS with XESS. It runs way smoother now than at first. Probably due to Steam not pausing game downloads when in-game which apparently can cause a dramatic hit in performance. Make sure to manually pause any background downloads when playing on this device!

Probably the best video showcasing the OLED. No long-winded speeches. Just unboxing and letting the console speak for itself. Thank you!

As a kind of old gamer, it’s amazing how far we’ve come since the GBA, which was my first handheld.

That Steamdeck looks absolutely insane. My PSP would've just been crying on the corner.

Incredible that a game like RDR2 can play so smoothly on a portable. When this game came out it was killing consoles and PCs. New tech like FSR surely helps but also a testament to long term improvements by the developers and also the state of silicon improving after just 3-4 years.

I had a gaming laptop from around 7 years ago that struggled a lot to play GTA V and now we are able to play it in a handheld... This is amazing. I'll buy one of these beauties as soon as I can.

As someone who pre-ordered the regular Steam Deck the day it was announced, i'm glad to see that Valve has been successful and is releasing new iterations of it.

[brianporter]

I think the reason performance was so low in a few games (Miles Morales, TLOU Part 1) is because you are downloading games in the background. Game downloads use a good portion of the CPU! Performance should be quite a bit higher once downloads are completed

A moment of silence to all those who bought a regular steam deck recently.

[lolofafsafsa]

Thank you for including Rise of Kong! Such a great game to play on the go. A truly immersive experience!

[PlacingRed]

25 years ago we couldn't even imagine a game like RDR2 let alone playing something like that on a handheld. We would have laughed at the idea.


& now here we are!

[MrQuaazga]

Yes! I have the first Steam Deck and I am enjoying it. I thank you for showing us the new Oled Steam Deck. It looks good. If Valve releases a more powerful Deck, I will wait to get that one.

[JetBurke]

best steam deck OLED testing I've seen so far, played games I would actually like to try. Can't wait to see the screen in person. Thanks.

[brixzusjaeger]
