Steam Deck will allow you to change the pre-installed operating system to Windows

Valve announced that their new handheld Steam Deck, which was announced yesterday, will have an open system for its users. If gamers want another operating system, such as Windows, then they can do it without too much trouble. This gives the console an added advantage when choosing this portable device or any other. Information about this appeared in an interview for the IGN portal, which was given by one of the creators of the Steam Deck, Pierre-Loop Griffe.

This was told by Pierre-Loop Griffe, one of the creators of the device, in an interview with IGN. He said that it is very important for Valve not to prejudice users in the choice of software that players want to put on their portable console, and the Steam Deck will support almost anything that can run on modern computers. In addition to Steam itself, users will be able to launch launchers from competing Valve companies, namely Epic Games Store, Origin, Uplay, Microsoft Store and others.

Pierre-Loop Griffe said the following:

We believe that people should not be deprived of the opportunity to choose their own direction or software. When you buy a Steam Deck, you buy a PC. You can install anything on it, connect any peripherals. Think of it as a small PC with a gamepad rather than a familiar console.

The end of 2021 will see the first wave of Steam Deck sales in countries such as the United States. Canada, UK and European Union countries. Now representatives of the CIS countries do not have the opportunity to purchase a portable device from Valve. Steam Deck prices will range from $ 399 to $ 649.
