Valve is looking to expand its footprint in the gaming world with the Steam Deck, a portable gaming device that lets players take their Steam library with them wherever they go. The Steam Deck has a lot of obstacles to overcome, including a global semiconductor chip shortage and the general heat and battery problems that come with trying to cram the processing power of a PC into a portable device. Nevertheless, since the Steam Deck has been on sale, gamers have been pre-ordering them in droves, and the first batches are expected to ship out in February.
