Valve’s Steam Deck has been a breath of fresh air for handheld gamers, giving fans a more powerful system that runs games the Nintendo Switch often struggles with.
However, as the generation continues, Valve’s handheld is reaching its limits, but a new fan-made mod for the console has shown a big performance boost despite some caveats. Fans have been looking for ways to play more powerful games on the Steam Deck, with GeForce Now proving to be a good streaming option. While fans would love to hear that a new Steam Deck 2 is coming soon Valve has already said it will take years to make this successor.
AliExpress While fans can comfortably play most AAA games on Valve’s handheld, recent releases like Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 and Dragon’s Dogma 2 have struggled with performing on the device. Although the Steam Deck OLED was able to upgrade the system’s screen to 90Hz, performance is mostly the same. Aluminum isn’t all that Gamers might be tempted to upgrade their Steam Deck with this aluminum backplate, but some issues come with this console mod.
