Ang Steam Deack ng Valve ay kawangis ng Switch na handheld console na inilabas para mag-run ng PC games ng Steam. Gaya ng nabanggit na console, parihaba ito at may thumbsticks, trackpads, triggers at grip buttons.

Mayroon din itong dock na maaaring ikabit ng mga users sa external displays.Sa kabilang banda, mas malaki lang ang 7 inch screen nito kumpara sa standard na Nintendo Switch.

Sa dami ng Steam games na kayang laruin sa device na ito, binanggit ng Valve Designer na si Lawrence Yang na ito daw ay “small PC with controllers attached (to it).”

Pinakamalaki, at pinaka-importanteng tanong ng mga fans kung gagana ba ang Dota 2 sa Steam Deck.

Kung pagbabasihan lamang ang specifications ng console, mataas ang tiyansang malalaro ito sa device. Kung gagana ang powerful games tulad ng Doom: Eternal and Jedi Fallen Order, hindi malayong malalaro ang Dota 2 sa Steam Deck.

Dagdag dito, mayroon ng app ang Steam na tinatawag na Steam Link na nagpapagana ng Dota 2 sa mobile para matamas ang handheld experience.
