The Hybrid Gaming Powerhouses
The Nintendo Switch has taken the gaming world by storm with its ability to be played both at home and on the go. But it seems that there is another console that pairs perfectly with the Switch: the Steam Deck.
The Rising Star: Steam Deck
The Steam Deck, released just last year, has quickly gained popularity as the only mainline handheld console currently on the market. According to a recent study by Overkill, around 60% of Steam Deck owners also own a Nintendo Switch.
The Perfect Companions
It's not surprising that these two consoles go hand in hand. Nintendo is known for its iconic exclusive games like Mario, Pokémon, and The Legend of Zelda, while the Steam Deck boasts a vast library of games, including big-name titles like Elden Ring.
Indie Game Paradise
What sets the Steam Deck apart is its extensive collection of indie games. Nearly half of the participants in the survey revealed that they primarily use their Steam Deck to play indie games, which often launch exclusively on Steam.
The Price Factor
While some Switch players have been hesitant to purchase a Steam Deck due to the price, Valve is now offering refurbished consoles at a lower cost. Many gamers are opting for the cheapest 64GB console and expanding the storage with more affordable options like microSD cards.
So, if you're a Nintendo Switch owner looking for the perfect companion console, the Steam Deck might just be the answer. With its hybrid gaming capabilities and diverse game library, it's a match made in gaming heaven.
