I Ditched My Console for 30 Days: Steam Deck Only Experiment.
The Console is Dead. Long Live the Steam Deck.
I ditched my traditional console to see if a PC handheld could actually replace it.
Here is the honest truth about the hybrid life, the frustrations, and whether I’m ever going back.

05:13 — The Ultimate Verdict: Am I Going Back?
No PS5.
Coming from someone who normally plays on PlayStation, I wanted to see if the Steam Deck could actually work as my main gaming system.
I also used the Steam Deck in a hybrid setup with a dock, keyboard and mouse, which made it feel almost like a small gaming PC.
For busy adult gamers who don’t always have hours to sit down and play, the Steam Deck might actually fit real life better than a traditional console.
But it’s not perfect — and I ran into some frustrations too (including a game that wouldn’t even launch).
So after 30 days… could the Steam Deck replace my PS5?
