We Got a Steam Deck! The TouchArcade Show #519

Published: Feb. 12, 2022, 1 a.m.

In this week\u2019s episode of The TouchArcade Show we talk about how we now have a Steam Deck. I repeat: We have a Steam Deck! Valve was cool enough to send TouchArcade a review unit, but we can\u2019t say too much about it until launch on February 25th. However, several high-profile gaming YouTubers did get the green light for some early hardware review coverage, and so we spend our entire show talking about their findings and all things Steam Deck (the things that we\u2019re allowed to talk about anyway). Links to the videos we talk about are in the Show Notes below. It\u2019s a fun one, and a brief one, as Eli had some Important Business to tend to. Enjoy!\nDon\u2019t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to podcast@toucharcade.com. We read \u2019em all, and love decoding messages written entirely in emoji.
