In 2025, the most substantial competition for the Steam Deck is expected to be the Nintendo Switch 2, launching at $449.99. While the Switch 2 offers superior display features and a powerful custom processor, the Steam Deck may maintain an advantage due to its better value, especially regarding game prices. Both devices cater to similar audiences despite differing philosophies, leading consumers to weigh their options carefully amidst economic challenges. The Steam Deck is available in two models starting from $399, while the Switch 2 will have special bundles at launch.
"The biggest threat to the Steam Deck in 2025 won't be the arrival of other Windows-based handheld gaming PCs. Instead, it'll likely be the Nintendo Switch 2."
"Ironically, the Steam Deck is also the Switch 2's biggest threat. While Nintendo's new console may have Valve's beat on screen resolution... Steam trumps it in value, particularly with game prices."
