Despite being officially announced recently, there is unfortunately a bit more time before gamers are able to get their hands on the much-awaited Nintendo Switch 2. However, that would not stop new games from releasing, especially the upcomingElden Ring Nightreignby Hidetaka Miyazaki, which could potentially dominate on another handheld liked by gamers.
Enter the Steam Deck, which happens to be Valve’s entry handheld gaming market. Unlike the Switch, it isn’t limited by underpowered hardware. Instead, it works on high-powered tech instead, letting players enjoy their massive Steam libraries on the go, which include the likes of the already famousElden Ring.
