    Give us a standalone VR headset that runs SteamOS and the world of VR will change overnight. Meta will instantly become a minor player!

      Yeah, I’d probably buy that if it was reasonably priced (<$1k). I’m currently hesitating because the Valve Index is $1k, and I’d still need to upgrade my GPU.

      Honestly, if they can release a non-standalone VR headset for <$500, I’ll probably get it.

    That’ll be nice. A lot of branding options there. Powered by SteamOS, that’ll be nice for knowing that all the devices drivers have Linux support

    Steam Included, easiest win for manufacturers. Steam Deck is pretty much an older generation AMD laptop. Slapping Steam Included should be viable for most new laptops these days

    Steam Compatible, hardware shipped with approved controller inputs. I guess Android TV boxes shipped with a gamepad for Steam Link or GeForce Now

    Steam Link Compatible, that’s practically any computing device with a WiFi card or Ethernet these days. I guess anything that doesn’t have a gamepad included

      I made my own steam deck (ish) with steam link, a 6 year old used tablet, and a gamesir 8+ controller. In fact, it’s better. But of course you need the hardware to stream that, but for at-home couch gaming while the wife is watching stuff, it’s amazing. Portability is iffy because internet.

    I’m excited for this because I want a pocket sized device that runs just the lightweight fraction of my Steam Library.

    Or literally just Rogue Legacy 2 and Monster Train would be fine, actually.
