“After having mine most of the week I can say it’s a really nice device. “Was this week talking w/ Scott, Erik, Gabe about Steam Deck,” Spencer wrote on Friday. Phil Spencer has been testing Steam Deck.Īt the very least, users will be able to stream Game Pass title over the cloud via a web browser, according to Phil Spencer’s recent social media post.

That means players could be able to access other company’s game stores such as The Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass. However, Valve insists that Steam Deck is also an open PC with the ability to install any software or connect with any hardware. Steam Deck runs the latest version of Valve’s SteamOS software – which is based on Linux – allowing players to easily access their Steam games library and all of the platform’s features.

The $399+ device was announced last month, described as “a powerful all-in-one portable PC” capable of running the latest AAA games. Xbox boss Phil Spencer has revealed he’s been playtesting Valve’s upcoming Steam Deck portable gaming PC, and said that Xbox games such as Halo “feel good” and “work well”.
