#Valve Steam Deck

Companies like Valve, which reportedly has been working on an Arm-based Steam Deck, could benefit from this shift, as could developers leveraging Arm’s potential new designs for gaming applications. A recent study by the e-commerce aggregator iPrice Group has shown that Asians, including Filipinos, are more excited about Valve's Steam Deck than the Nintendo Switch OLED. According to their study, across the 10 Asian countries observed, Steam Deck has nearly 3x Nintendo Switch OLED’s Google search interests within July 2021. Even in Japan, the hometown of the Switch, the Steam Deck search is almost 8x more than Nintendo Switch OLED’s. In the Philippines, there is a 67-33 ratio (67% being more interested in Steam Deck). Filipinos look up Steam Deck more than 2x as much as Nintendo Switch OLED, with about 62.1k searches for the former and 30.8k searches for the latter. iPrice said that there are many possible reasons as to why many are more interested in the Steam Deck, but one of them is the amount of cross-play games Steam is known to have. Valve has launched its latest handheld console, the Steam Deck, allowing you to play games from your Steam Library.
