Valve Wants To Make More Handhelds Like the Steam Deck

Valve seems like they really believe in the business potential of the Steam Deck.

The slot is also present in the cheapest available model (the one with only 64 GB of storage), which will make that one a very viable option for most gamers, reports HotHardware. This means that you won't have to get the models with higher storage options since an m.2 2230 SSD often costs between $40-$100, depending on storage capacity.

Steam Machines Paved The Way

Remember how Steam Machines bombed right out of the gate? So far, it looks like Valve has learned its lessons. Those so-called "console killers" which were released back in 2015 were critical and commercial failures. The main reason was the now non-existent trouble of running games well on a Linux-based machine. The Steam Deck does run the Linux-based SteamOS, but early performance numbers suggest games run well enough on the handheld.
