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.

    I’ve not read that, do you have an article or such so I can learn more about what’s happening to the microSDs?

      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.

        Ah, eh, I don’t use the micro sd for anything except games. The whole steam deck for me is a handheld device to play steam games and not a desktop or such.

          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.

          @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.
