Valve shocked the gaming world when it announced the Valve Steam Deck in mid-July, launching the company into the handheld gaming market. The Valve Steam Deck 512GB will bring a PC gamers’ Steam library to the handheld console, which Valve says will provide a seamless transition between both platforms. Like the name suggests, the Steam Deck 512GB will include 512GB NVMe SSD internal storage, and will include a carrying case and an exclusive steam community profile bundle. The Valve Steam Deck 512GB model will also include anti-glare etched glass, and an exclusive virtual keyboard theme. A micro SD slot will also enable expanded storage. The Steam Deck can also be docked to a monitor, and used as a PC, or docked to a TV. Valve partnered with AMD to create a specialized APU optimized for handheld gaming, and Valve says the chip will deliver performance to run AAA gaming titles. The Steam Deck 512GB is outfitted with a 7-inch touchscreen, and two trackpads under the control sticks that allow gamers to operate games never designed outside of mouse and keyboard capabilities.

The Valve Steam Deck 512GB was released in December 2021.
