The truth is, we are able to already see a little bit of proof of this, because the system is now the top-selling launch on Steam in the mean time.

Whereas the Steam Deck has already been fairly excessive up on the record, the truth that it’s now on the primary spot so quickly after the OLED mannequin unveiling might be not a coincidence.

Just about because it launched final February (it’s quick approaching its second birthday already), it’s been within the sights of many-a-PC gamer.
