(The 256 GB and 512 GB models also feature much faster NVMe SSD internal storage.)Įvery tier of Steam Deck comes with a microSD card slot, which allows people to expand their internal storage. Each could handle even the meatiest Call of Duty title, and comes with other technical upgrades.

The midrange $529 model has 256 GB of available storage and the $649 top-tier Deck has 512 GB available, solving that issue. Each requires 80 GB of storage, according to their Steam pages. Doom Eternal and Death Stranding wouldn’t fit on the entry-level Steam Deck, due to their size. Games shown in Valve’s promotional videos, like Control, at 42 GB, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (55 GB) would gobble up the majority of the drive. The $399 model comes with 64 GB of flash memory, which is a bit of a tight squeeze.

But there’s one thing worth considering before pre-ordering your own, and that’s storage space.

The newly announced Steam Deck is a tempting deal, especially for a product that starts at $399.
