Think of the Steam Deck like a gaming laptop: it does a lot, but the PS5's specialized hardware still packs more punch for next-gen games.

The Steam Deck is powerful for a handheld, but it doesn鈥檛 match the raw power of a PS5. It's best for portable gaming and indie titles.

Well, you won鈥檛 be running PS5-level graphics on a handheld. The Steam Deck is impressive, but the PS5 is a beast in comparison.

Own both. The PS5 wins in performance, but the Steam Deck is great for taking my games on the go. Each excels in its own way!
