    Fascinating stuff. I think we’ll see a new category emerge in studies like this for Steam Deck, ROG Ally, a Sony’s (ridiculous) project Q. I think these devices have more to do with each other than they do with PC or console - at least when it comes to player behaviour and use case

      I’m not sure the Project Q fits in here. It doesn’t play games on its own, just streams them. Sounds like it has more in common with the Logitech G Cloud.

      Yeah I think these hardware created their own category, handheld PCs. Separate from PC, console and handheld consoles.

          What games? How well does that work? I find that even streaming to my MacBook from my Steam Deck is insanely slow.

            mostly platformers it works well enough for me even remote using my phones 5g to my home , eastward, and graveyard keeper are the ones I played the most this way, I tried moonlighter as well but sometimes it gets a bit blocky and its not fun when it happens when youre trying not to die, most of the time though I play while at home on the couch, Im pretty close to one of my wifi 6 access points there so it looks great
