That means game stores like Steam rival Epic Games Store will be available to use, too, alongside other stores. In contrast to Nintendo’s notorious closed system for the Switch, Valve will let players circumvent its Steam OS entirely - you could just wipe the thing and add Windows. The Steam Deck runs Proton, which is an adapted version of Linux that can play Windows and Linux games. Trackpads are available on each side of the device, too, with eight triggers on the back. The screen is 7 inches, sandwiched by thumbsticks, a D-pad, and buttons. Basically, Steam Deck is described as a portable PC, with a bigger footprint than the Nintendo Switch - at least slightly. The Nintendo Switch-like device will be available in December starting at $399. Valve announced the handheld device on Thursday. YouTuber Phawx has a few demos of this technology on his YouTube channel, upscaling DVD resolution games to 720p.Don’t actually want to play Steam games on your Steam Deck? That’s OK: Valve’s new handheld device isn’t a closed system - players can download other operating systems and game stores on the device.Įpic Games Store, uPlay, and Origin? All of those will work on the Steam Deck, if you wanted to play there, according to IGN. Basically, this technology allows you to upscale any old game. This is what FSR enables on the entire Steam Deck system, where any game can be scaled from a resolution lower than the native resolution of the screen. Second, Steam OS uses a technology called Gamescope, which only works with AMD GPUs. Being an Arch Linux based system, you will need to pass the ‘sudo pacman -Sy’ command from time to time.
In HoloISO they have not been able to replicate that partition system, so it is time to update the system by hand. The update is downloaded to partition B, it is verified and then it is installed on partition A to prevent data from being corrupted or installing unsigned software on the console. The console is divided into two partitions. On the Deck, the system works exactly the same as it does on a console like the PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch. The first big difference between HoloISO and Steam OS is the updates.
