The author reflects on how the Steam Deck eclipsed the Nintendo Switch in terms of game variety and performance while maintaining portability. As the Switch 2 approaches its launch, it poses a potential challenge for handheld gaming PCs, thanks to its strong library of exclusive titles and backward compatibility. The Switch 2 might not only match the Deck in performance but also appeal to new players. The author also notes improvements in handheld ergonomics but suggests that PC handhelds have much ground to cover.
The Steam Deck took the Switch's best trick - pick-up-and-play portability - while offering more games that run better.
The Switch 2 may meet or beat the Steam Deck in performance with a large and welcoming library, making it attractive for both families and enthusiasts.
