And a full Steam library, playing locally without Internet, and having a full pc that you can install whatever you want on aaaand being able to use bluetooth peripherals?
Sure, it’s probably better at streaming ps5 games, but is it a better value for the money? Ehhhh…
Glorified android tablet versus actual gaming PC in handheld form. This is not even in the same class as a steam deck, it’s 100% utterly useless without internet or a PS5 or playing anything other than PS5 games.
Yes, it’s intended to stream PS5 games, but it does a better job at it than a Steam Deck does. Which isn’t surprising as it’s a purpose built piece of kit.
Yeah no it doesn’t. Or does it? You don’t know, because it’s not even out yet. And what even is there to stream from a PS5? All the best exclusives are on PC now. The PS5 pandemic honeymoon is over, consoles are back to being behind.
Also from everything I’m seeing, ps remote play is capped at 1080@60 which is relatively shit when Nvidia gamestream on PC can do any resolution at any frame rate/refresh rate if your network can keep up. Playing Forza in 21:9 native resolution on my phone at 120hz is infinitely superior to a console accessory that becomes useless when you leave the house.
Not every gamer cares for PC gaming, and not every gamer really cares about 30 vs. 60 fps, or being able to stream 4k on an 8" screen.
I’m more than happy with my PS5, and Nintendo Switch. I’d be pumped to be able to stream any of my PlayStation games to a device like this while I travel for work. I don’t have as good of an experience using PS Remote Play on my phone or laptop, so this seems like a slam dunk for me.

Yeah, years later, and you need a €3000 PC to play them.

1080p on an 8" screen seems more than reasonable to me.

For 100 more you can have a smaller screen with lower resolution, no adaptive triggers, no haptics. What a deal!
I love my steam deck but for streaming PS5 games this seems far superior.

Let’s put it this way: I already own a Steam Deck but I’m still considering getting this, especially considering how cheap it is.
