I’m lucky because I have a girlfriend who wants to buy me a steamdeck. I have a gaming PC already but I am away for a while due to grad studies. I’m worried that we buy one then a new version comes out in a few months. Should I buy one later this year?
Valve have made it clear they won't be releasing a new version any time soon. It's your personal choice, can you afford it? Do you want to spend the money?
I think it's brilliant, but I know others who'd prefer a normal console.
There is also a program that lets you stream Playstation games to the Steam Deck, though I'm not sure if it's local-only (many of the ones for PCs, you can play games streamed from your PC from miles away if you have decent internet in both places).
