Thankfully, they’re cheap: On Amazon, you can get a 256 GB Samsung microSD card for $35.99 and a 512 GB card for $69.99, which is another way to fit some more games on there.Īnother workaround? The Steam Deck will also support Steam remote play out of the box, letting players stream their library of games from a separate home PC. (The 256 GB and 512 GB models also feature much faster NVMe SSD internal storage.)Įvery tier of Steam Deck comes with a microSD card slot, which allows people to expand their internal storage. Each could handle even the meatiest Call of Duty title, and comes with other technical upgrades. The midrange $529 model has 256 GB of available storage and the $649 top-tier Deck has 512 GB available, solving that issue. Each requires 80 GB of storage, according to their Steam pages. Doom Eternal and Death Stranding wouldn’t fit on the entry-level Steam Deck, due to their size. Games shown in Valve’s promotional videos, like Control, at 42 GB, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (55 GB) would gobble up the majority of the drive. The $399 model comes with 64 GB of flash memory, which is a bit of a tight squeeze.

But there’s one thing worth considering before pre-ordering your own, and that’s storage space. The newly announced Steam Deck is a tempting deal, especially for a product that starts at $399.
