multiplayer? (feddit.nl)
submitted 1 year ago by Brtrnd@feddit.nl to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

I'm looking into purchasing a steamdeck for my kids. Ican I attach my 2 old Xbox controllers to it, so the kids can play together?

Most multiplayer articles talk about playing with remote players.

Also, should I go for a more expensive version? It seems like I can swap the SSD myself.

A lot of retailers claim people are returning with sd cards that stop working after about a year in the Steam Deck. Not sure about the validity but good information to take in notheless.

I've not read that, do you have an article or such so I can learn more about what's happening to the microSDs?

[-] hogart@feddit.nu 1 points 1 year ago

It was just a post by someone claiming to work in retail and they had a lot of people coming in with sd cards about 1 year after Steam Deck release saying they had used it in a Deck. Nothing more to share I'm afraid. Hard to know how true it is but good to know so you can make backups.

Ah, eh, I don't use the micro sd for anything except games. The whole steam deck for me is a handheld device to play steam games and not a desktop or such.

So the same as 98% of users. But losing w/e games you had on there, if not installed directly from Steam, might be a frustrating endeavour. Just wanted to give a heads up. If you didn't really need it, that's ok and a thanks is alright. Have a good day.

@MJBrune @hogart the steam deck 2 should be more open and not my reliant on playing games from steam. This would be a huge win for open and free gaming, playing wise.

Steam deck 2 is at least 2 years away, probably more.

@MJBrune dang. What do you think of the legion go?

I have a feeling that for these windows handhelds windows is going to need to become more handheld friendly for them to succeed.
