Is the Steam Deck still worth it in 2025? I'd argue yes — but with caveats

    The steam deck is getting long in the tooth and will increasingly have trouble playing newer titles. In PC gaming, you can’t have console-like product cycles.

      I would argue the Steam Deck was never really meant to target the newest and greatest.

        Sure, but at some point it’ll be just too outdated.

          Maybe outdated for future CPU and GPU hungry games.
          The same emulators that run now will continue to do so as will very likely indie titles.
          In the end it depends on what you want to do with the SD.
