Takeaways
The idea of an Xbox handheld is intriguing, but it remains to be seen whether Microsoft will actually release one.
Introducing other stores, like Steam, on the Xbox platform could provide more gaming options for players, but it may not be financially beneficial for Microsoft.
While handheld gaming is growing in popularity, household consoles are likely to remain a significant part of the gaming industry.
The Orange Pi Neo offers an affordable Linux gaming handheld option with impressive features and specifications. The Steam Deck's price and features are compared to other handheld gaming devices.
Concerns are raised about potential issues with the Steam Deck, such as trackpad functionality and unknown factors.
The hosts discuss the games they have been playing, including Final Fantasy VII Remake, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Diablo 4, and Horizon Forbidden West.
The announcement of the Marvel 1943: The Rise of Hydra game generates excitement among the hosts. Rise of Hydra is an interesting game for those who enjoy story-driven games, but gameplay will ultimately determine its success.
The Max Payne 1 and 2 remake has the same development budget as Alan Wake 2, showing the success of the game.
The Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu was taken down, but a new emulator called Suyu has emerged.
Valve could incentivize developers to optimize their games for the Steam Deck by offering a lower revenue cut.
