Steam Deck has been one of the great surprises of the year and Valve continues to give information about this portable Gaming PC little by little. Now, the official website has been updated with a new FAQ of 20 questions that has left us interesting news: multi-accounts on each device, possibility of installing various operating systems, offline game and much more.
One of the big surprises is that Steam Deck will allow us to have multiple Steam accounts started and each of them will have its own save files and personal settings. Valve has also insisted that we can move games that are not on Steam and are compatible with Proton, the version of Linux that the machine uses.
Steam Deck will allow us to play video games without being connected to the internet (as long as the game allows it, but that’s another story), something that is not surprising considering its portability, but that it is well to confirm. The company has once again insisted that connecting the PC to the dock does not improve its performance, and has also ensured that we can use it as a controller to play on PC.
Continuing with the theme of controls, the touch screen will be multi-touch, which will allow us to use up to 10 fingers of the hand at the same time. By the way, if you’ve wondered if you can use the Steam Deck for virtual reality, the answer is yes, but Valve has made it clear that “although you can technically connect a VR headset for PC, the Steam Deck is not optimized for VR experiences. “.
Multiple operating systems and BIOS access
Valve has explained that the multi-boot will be available on this Gaming PC, so we can install and move other operating systems, since we will also have BIOS access. In fact, the machine will also support the boot of an OS from the microSD if we want to install it on an external card, but this is already something personal for each user.
It is also interesting to note that no they may install external graphics cards. On the other hand, something that will surely make many happy is that it will have jack connection what will support audio input and output, so we can connect our headphones or headphones with a microphone to play with our friends. As a last curiosity, the charging cable is 1.5 meters long.
