I’m looking into purchasing a steamdeck for my kids. Ican I attach my 2 old Xbox controllers to it, so the kids can play together?
Most multiplayer articles talk about playing with remote players.
Also, should I go for a more expensive version? It seems like I can swap the SSD myself.
Agree. Guessing you aren’t using CryoUtilities for higher vram and such. Mine got full in an instant and it was all I had locally. Dunno what caused it.
Edit: had the same issue over multiple wipes and reinstalls so I just pulled the trigger on new internal storage and everything feels great.

I used a plastic bender-tool thingie that I’ve bought. I used the same tool to swap earbuds on my headphones a while back which brought new life to my old, worn, but expensive headphones. Actually worth it since it’s SO much easier to open stuff.
I followed a youtube video to do the swap. Took me about 2 hours going through it all very slowly. Detaching the battery cord is what took the most time and patience. Just a very slow process where I questioned if I’m even making progress, but it loosened eventually.
Not at all hard to do. Just required a little attention and I watched the whole guide before I got started.

A lot of retailers claim people are returning with sd cards that stop working after about a year in the Steam Deck. Not sure about the validity but good information to take in notheless.

It was just a post by someone claiming to work in retail and they had a lot of people coming in with sd cards about 1 year after Steam Deck release saying they had used it in a Deck. Nothing more to share I’m afraid. Hard to know how true it is but good to know so you can make backups.

@MJBrune @hogart the steam deck 2 should be more open and not my reliant on playing games from steam. This would be a huge win for open and free gaming, playing wise.
So the same as 98% of users. But losing w/e games you had on there, if not installed directly from Steam, might be a frustrating endeavour. Just wanted to give a heads up. If you didn’t really need it, that’s ok and a thanks is alright. Have a good day.
