4 Steam Deck Competitors To Watch For In 2025
Looking for a new gaming handheld in 2025? Here are four Steam Deck competitors announced at CES 2025 to add to your shortlist.
Lenovo’s new Z2 handheld is the Steam Deck we’ve all been waiting for
We may put handhelds like the Asus ROG Ally and Steam Deck up against each other, but the real power of Valve’s handheld is that it’s affordable. For as good as devices like the original Lenovo Legion Go are, they’re hundreds of dollars more expensive than what you can pick up the Steam Deck for. The Legion Go S with SteamOS is changing that story.

Lenovo makes its new Legion Go family official, and I'm fixated on the handheld maker's $499.99 "Steam Deck"
Following months of rumors, the new Lenovo Legion Go S has finally arrived, and I'm pretty hyped to see there's a SteamOS version. While I wouldn't go as far to call the laptop maker's new handheld a Steam Deck, it should help normalize PC operating systems that are actually build for portable play.
Should You Wait for the Steam Deck 2? I Didn’t
The Steam Deck 2 is expected in either 2025 or 2026 with big improvements to performance, VRR support, memory and storage improvements, and potential other benefits like Hall Effect sticks and triggers likely.
Lenovo’s new Steam Deck rival is first in line to run SteamOS
It’s far from the most powerful gaming handheld, but Valve’s Steam Deck still leads the pack thanks to Valve’s streamlined SteamOS software. No surprise, then, that rivals are chomping at the bit to offer handhelds of their own running the Linux-based OS instead of Windows.
