How Hot Does the Steam Deck Get
The Steam Deck can get pretty warm, especially during intense gaming sessions. Mine usually hits around 60-70°C (140-158°F) when playing AAA games, but it has a good cooling system to keep things under control.

Honestly, it gets warm, but not hot enough to roast marshmallows. From my experience, it rarely exceeds 70°C (158°F), even with demanding games.
Don't worry too much; the Steam Deck stays relatively cool under normal use. It has an efficient cooling mechanism. Just maybe don’t use it as a hand warmer.
Hot take: If you're experiencing overheating, you might want to check for dust or blockages in the vents. It's designed to handle high temps!
