I thought Switch 2 would kill my Steam Deck, but it's actually made me play it more


Rather than sending the Steam Deck to the attic, the Switch 2 has made it more compelling than ever for Tom Orry.

Once my pride and joy, a delight I'd take great pleasure in telling people about and even demonstrating, it had started to gather dust. Sure, I've loved and adored plenty of handheld games (Ridge Racer(s) on PSP is a standout, MotorStorm RC on Vita another gem), but I'd always opt for the console under the TV whenever I could and never felt comfortable playing 'outside'. I'm now back trawling through Steam sales to pick up bargains I'll likely never play and tinkering with emulators, and still trying to fit in time with Mario Kart World.
