I’ve been on the fence for a while thinking about getting myself a steam deck. I got a great gaming computer and I’m wondering if it can possible accompany it in some way, or is it just the excitement of getting new tech kicking in.

What do you do with your steam deck? What makes you glad that you got it?

    If you’re on the same network as your gaming PC, and have a halfway decent router, you can use Steam’s remote play to get the performance of your gaming PC on your Deck. Works great from my experience and would allow you to play titles that the deck struggles with.

      Was looking for this: Steam in-home streaming is great for gaming with alternate devices as long as you have a powerful computer. Works really well when you don’t want to sit at your gaming PC.

      Oh wow this is actually really helpful. I just figured I can do that with Moonlight and my iPad 12.9 inch so that’s really nice for now

      Done exactly this a few times when sick in bed with a cheap android tablet with an xbox controller and I was surprised at how well it worked. Even fast paced games like Hades run quite well.
