It's pretty awesome that the steamdeck is now basically a viable and far less limited alternative to consoles for around the same price as one.

With the exception of fortnite (fuck you, it's fun in no build mode) I do almost all of my gaming for the past few years on my steam deck. The control making and gyro is insanely customizable and the instant suspend/resume is a massive boon to my lifestyle as an adult that often has limited time windows.

I'm hoping that the next gen Steam Deck gets a coprocessor that will allow it to use less power in sleep mode, and also download games and updates in the background while the screen is off or in sleep mode.

Would be a nice perk. I'm guessing summer 2026 or 2027.
