Congrats! I'll probably get one at some point next year, waiting to see some post-launch tests first, like:

  • How well will it run high end 9th gen games? Can it run them on low settings at 720p, or are the specs still not enough for that?
  • How will performance on games compare on Steam OS and Windows?
  • Is the SD card slot really limited to UHS-I speed (104 MB/s) or can it use higher end UHS-II or UHS-III SD cards without capping their speed? 

I'm also hoping to see Microsoft make a Native Xbox app for it, so that you can not only stream xCloud games without using the web browser, but also wi-fi stream games from your Xbox Series to your Steam Deck, cutting out the latency issues of streaming those same games from the nearest xCloud data center. 

I'm mildly curious, but I have to ask, are you really just wanting to treat this device not as a mini PC, but more of a portable Xbox system?.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
