Steam Deck is a great combination of gaming and comfort. It’s the most powerful hand console on the market and has a surprisingly excellent game library. There are many AAA games you can play with full support, and the best is the console is optimized well. As there are advantages, there are also disadvantages for the console. Valve has been working on a dock for the console for a long time; the users couldn’t get more useful ports on their console so far. Finally, Valve showed their console docks for Steam Deck at the Tokyo Game Show event.
The docks might be the essential part of the hand consoles. They add crucial ports like DisplayPort to use the console with a monitor or Ethernet port to use low latency internet. Let’s take a look at the dock’s design and which ports it offers.
Valve Shows Steam Deck Console Docks in Tokyo Game Show
There are many presenters from different companies. Many showcases were made, and Valve’s presentation is one of the most interesting ones. They’ve shown the dock for Steam Deck, which has a simple design with useful ports. The dock includes USB-B ports, an Ethernet port, an HDMI port, and a USB-C port, which seems to power the system. Here’s a look at the accessory shared on the subreddit of the console:
The dock might not be a good choice to play outside, but if you want to play with a big screen or make faster downloads, it will help you greatly. Steam Deck competitor Nintendo Switch has had a dock for a long time, and gamers mostly use it to play with more giant screens. Hand consoles aren’t made for playing on TV, but sometimes you might want to change them and connect them to the TV. The accessory’s release date isn’t unveiled, but you can add it to your wishlist from Steam Deck’s page.
