    I would totally buy a ps5 if I could just use it as a steam machine.

    The steamdeck is my most powerful system at the moment and i’m getting a stiff neck playing in handheld mode these days anyway.

    So if im going to be plugged in, I might as well.

    My other option is to get a gpu and use my home server that has an i7-8700.

    That’s honestly, probably the way to go.

      Have you looked at a dockingstation and a controller? You can connect the steamdeck to your TV!

      I bought the steam deck docking station and plugged that into my tv. I’m using a generic bluetooth controller to game from the couch.

      That works fine. I’ve even used it in that setup to stream a game from my PC through the steam link or whatever that was called again.

      That’s a cheaper option, unless you’re missing compute power or support on the steam deck.

    Should someone tell him you can already play gta V on the PS5?

    Now if he used it to play Baulder’s Gate 2 or Ski Free, that would be new.
