Valve recently released the Steam Deck which shook up the handheld console market. The device features an ergonomic design for gaming alongside some impressive specifications for its size. As a result, industry analysts are predicting that alongside a partnership with Xbox it will take the Switch’s place in the market.
Until now, fans knew that the Steam Deck will run games available on the Steam Library. However, there are talks of games from the Xbox Games Pass also making their way to the console. This would give the device a more mainstream appeal in addition to a library that can compete with Nintendo’s.

The Games Pass can be purchased at $14.99 per month with cancellation features available at any time. It offers players a bag of unique titles like Halo, Resident Evil 7, and Elder Scrolls. Although the Game Pass is already lucrative for Microsoft, its success could be furthered by the Steam Deck.

Players were already impressed by the power Valve’s handheld device offers over the Switch. It is also far more versatile because you can browse the web, download mods, and essentially use it as a mini PC. The fact that the Steam Deck starts at only $50 more than the Nintendo makes the purchase all the more worth it.
Additionally, Valve blew Nintendo’s OLED variant of the Switch out of the water since fans were expecting an upgraded Switch Pro but only received visual improvements. Do you think the Xbox Games Pass will make its way to the Valve Steam Deck? Let us know in the comments down below.
