Valve reportedly making a Steam gaming PC just like Nintendo’s Switch

[Chris Smith]

Nintendo’s Switch console has been a massive success for the company thanks to the unusual proposition the Japanese giant made gamers. The Switch can be used in tablet mode and in full console mode to play the same amazing Nintendo games that fans love, including the popular Mario franchise. That’s why the Switch gets away with not being the most powerful console in town. It features good-enough hardware to play games that aren’t available anywhere else. And this allows Nintendo to sell that package for just $299. No wonder Switch crushed the competition, especially during the pandemic.

Various Windows PC makers have tried to develop Switch alternatives, just as Nintendo has been developing the next-gen Switch Pro that will feature beefed-up specs and a significantly improved performance. But nobody came up with a Switch alternative that could run Windows games. Valve is the latest entrant in this niche, as the company is looking to launch a “SteamPal” Switch-like portable gaming device of its own at some point in the not-too-distant future.
