The landscape of handheld gaming has drastically improved — here's why

The Steam Deck was a surprise for a variety of reasons, but the biggest reason was because it worked. Valve's previous attempts at hardware were either good, but expensive, like the Valve Index VR headset, or niche to the point of being failures, like the Steam Controller and Steam Machines. Not only was the Steam Deck comparatively powerful when measured against the consoles it aimed to replace, but it was also the first time Valve's oddball approach unequivocally worked. The Linux-based SteamOS really was more efficient to run than Windows and Valve really was able to build a compatibility layer (with the help of developers at CodeWeavers) that made running Windows games possible.
