So, the Steam Deck is bigger, but not by much. In comparison, the standard Switch is only 9.4 x 4 x 0.55 inches. Shedding light on the Steam Deck's UI for IGN, Valve designer Tucker Spofford said the home screen will let you continue the game you're playing, see what your friends are doing, see what's new in the store and your library and get recommendations. We have 2 benches along the 6 and 9 foot wall about 20 inches deep for sitting / laying down and two. According to the official tech specs, the portable measures 298mm x 117mm x 49mm, which roughly translates to 11.7 x 4.6 x 1.9 inches.
As it's designed to be ported to TVs, it's not hard to envision the console's UI becoming a natural successor to Big Picture Mode. The Steam Deck features a custom Linux-based SteamOS. Pre-orders were swiftly opened for the device, which comes in three variants with different storage sizes priced at $399, $529 and $649. Valve surprised everyone last week by dropping the Steam Deck - a Switch-like hybrid console for PC gaming - out of the blue. In fact, the feature hasn't really been visually updated much since its launch. A slick new UI will probably be welcomed by those who believe the almost decade-old Big Picture mode is on its last legs. According to a Steam forum post from a Valve employee, the console's user interface will replace Steam's Big Picture mode, a front-end for your games that's compatible with bigger displays, TVs and controllers. The upcoming Steam Deck handheld could shape more than just Valve's hardware fortunes.
