Thumb-sticks and triggers

Best-in-class thumb-sticks with capacitive touch sensor built-in ? provide a level of precision and comfort not found in other portable gaming devices. Analogue triggers provide a full range of input for the best experience ? especially in driving games.

Grip buttons

Four user-assignable buttons on the back of the deck put the next level of control right at your fingertips while keeping your thumb firmly planted on the trackpad or stick.

Handy trackpads

Play PC games that were never designed to be handheld. With increased precision and customizability, trackpads also give you a competitive edge when playing fast paced?FPS?games.

Gyro feature

With an?IMU?and capacitive touch thumb-sticks on-board, Steam Deck helps you aim better. By physically positioning the device you can achieve more precision than using a thumb-stick or trackpad alone.

Hi-Fi audio

Steam Deck Gaming Console?s stereo speakers pack a punch. An embedded?DSP?provides clarity and a wide soundstage for an immersive listening experience. Connect your favorite headset or use the onboard dual microphones to chat with your friends.

Fast storage

Get the built-in storage you need with 512GB?NVMe?SSD?(fastest) memory. If you?re looking for more space, augment your built-in storage with a microSD card and fill it up with even more games.

Expandable I/O

The single?USB-C jack is designed for multi-purpose use like charging, peripherals or even throwing the game onto a big screen at the same time. Any?USB-C hub can be used to expand your options or get Steam Deck? Docking Station when it is released.

Wireless connectivity

Wi-Fi keeps you connected to the world and Bluetooth allows for a wide variety of wireless peripherals ? from controllers to headsets, keyboards and mice.

Fast suspend / resume

Steam Deck has built a quick suspend / resume feature into SteamOS. Press the power button and Steam Deck will suspend your game and go into sleep mode. Push the power button again and it will wake up right where you left off.

Increased flexibility, however you play

Docking Station adds extensibility to your already extensible Steam Deck. Dock Deck to your TV and play games on the couch with your favorite wireless controllers. Set up a Dock at your work desk and get some keyboard / mouse work done on up to two external displays at a time. Or take it with you on the go in case you need to have more expandability wherever youheaded.

40Whr battery

Steam Deck Gaming Console?s onboard 40 watt-hour battery provides several hours of play time for most games. For lighter use cases like game streaming, smaller 2D games or web browsing, you can expect to get the maximum battery life of approximately 7-8 hours.
