Reviewers say Steam Deck feels rushed

The Steam Deck is finally out!.. well, for some people. The good news is the reviews are in and most everyone had very positive things to say about their time with Valve’s handheld PC. The bad news is there were more than a few complaints about the Steam Deck’s hardware and software debut. Don’t worry we have collected all the pros and cons across multiple sites just for you, right here on Inside Gaming Roundup.

In other news hackers leaked some of Nvidia’s source code possibly revealing specs for the actual Switch Pro, Elden ring is having some tech issues on PC but people are playing it anyway, Wargaming fired their creative director over pro-war comments, and Phil Spencer wants developers to be treated with more respect.

This week’s 5-Second Review (in progress) jumps back into Elden Ring and the Coming Soon section may have a gem or two if you can stand parting with the time you would otherwise be spending in the lands between.

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend.
