Handheld gaming is the future — again

The Switch and the Steam Deck are just the beginning of the handheld era.

    I definitely hope the trend continues, though not necessarily replacing consoles as an entity. I’ve an Aya Neo 2021 (first gen) and it’s been amazing. I have a hard time staying in one place and actually committing to sitting down at a console / desktop to play games, I don’t like gaming on laptops too much, and the Switch has a limited library; so a handheld PC specifically made for gaming has been fantastic. It’s so nice to just pick up and be able to play whereever, and I’m very glad to see that it seems like handheld PCs are here to stay

      Handheld PC games have been such a “game changer” for me too. I love Nintendo and the Switch but like you said the library was a bit limited. Alongside, the storage and the types of games too.

      I’m in bed and playing Ori. I haven’t bought a TV for my bedroom yet and sitting at a desk to play some games feels more cumbersome.

      I really like that Steam has really changed things. It really brings PC games to a console-like experience.

    Handhelds are severely power limited, even if they get really good there will always be a desktop/console version of the hardware with better performance
