Steam Deck is very popular. However, it has limitations that can only be overcome with special methods.
10.08.2023 – Valve hit them in the head with a huge ax when they created the Steam Deck. While there have been solutions for laptops in the past, they were often either unusable or very expensive. However, Valve wanted to work with AMD to find the perfect middle ground. Basic versions can be purchased for more than 200,000 forints, while modern AAA titles can also be played using the gadget.
Of course, the screen can be OLED and 1080p, but the device will not be able to handle that. You can even replace the SSD at home, but thanks to iFixit, all Steam Deck parts can be purchased separately. The RAM is the only thing that can be criticized in some cases, but only because the GPU has no dedicated memory.

the video card He noted that one of them managed to expand the device to 32 GB without any problems. It quickly became clear from his Twitter username that he was our compatriot. Triszka Balázs solved the process flawlessly, Steam Deck and the system itself recognized the amount of variable RAM without any problems. Thanks to this, the GPU can request up to 4 GB of VRAM, while there will still be plenty of games left. Hopefully we won’t have to wait long for benchmarks either, the community is curious as to how useful such a mod would be.
What could Steam Deck 2 have in store?
the the edge In his interview, two Valve engineers shared valuable information about the future of Steam Deck. Let’s look at the main ones:
- While this isn’t directly related to the hardware, Valve isn’t ruling out the possibility of a new Steam Controller inspired by the Steam Deck
- The Steam Deck Audio Mixer arrives, with which we can adjust the game and system volume
- Mobile titles may also hit the Steam Deck, and mobile game developers and Valve would be open to that, since touchscreen is a given.
- The Steam Deck’s CPU/GPU and raw power will not change for version 2, but the screen and battery will be greatly improved.
