    sure, you can. the only way i can is with a tablet which isn’t a great solution. So yeah, big shock, if you have steam deck you don’t need this.

      Funny thing is, if this would’ve been a follow up to the Vita, we would’ve seen the same statements. ‘My steamdeck is more powerful and can play more games lol why do I need this?’. On top it would’ve been more expensive.

      Plus the pricing would’ve been a tough pill. The cheap steam deck is 420€, the ‘good’ variant with 256gb is 550€ already. You can buy a ps5 disk version at this price already. Paying something around this for a super specced down ps5 with awful battery life? Who wants that.

      On top, people are forgetting Nintendo’s absolute dominance on the handheld market. Most people that are interested in handheld gaming, own a switch. Those who want more performance or emulation on top, got a steam deck already. This device would fill such a niche spot for, again, probably only a bit cheaper than a PS5.

      The remote player, for 200€? I can easily afford as addition to my switch for playing games at home, and wherever I want (because I only game in places I have WiFi anyways), with much better quality (1080p60!) while still having good battery life! They say they aim for Dualsense battery life, which people argue is bad, but it’s still like 2 times that of my switch… if they actually achieve that, that’d be insane.

      No Bluetooth? Only gives you awful delay tho, someone please try on their phone with remote play and then be quiet for heavens sake. Also never wanted to use headphones on my switch. And if, there’s even a headphone jack? Anyways, the launch date trailers got lots of likes with barely complaints. I think this is just a weird random outcry again
