Steam Deck Has a New Competitor? NVIDIA Might Be Entering the Handheld PC Market
It’s speculated that NVIDIA might enter the handheld PC market due to the lack of alternatives to Steam Deck and the inadequacy of NVIDIA-based hardware in existing devices. Furthermore, the company’s experience with the NVIDIA Shield could make them a formidable competitor in the handheld PC market.
NVIDIA Flirts with the Handheld PC Market
Although not yet confirmed, it’s highly probable that NVIDIA is considering launching a handheld PC, based on current trends. According to information obtained, NVIDIA is carefully examining the new hendheld PC that have been introduced to the market.
Particularly, they are paying attention to the lack of NVIDIA-based hardware in these devices. Most popular Steam Deck alternatives use AMD chips, leaving NVIDIA with little share in this market. Therefore, entering the market with their own device seems logical.
A thing that frightens the rivals: The refreshed Steam Deck is coming!
With some experience in GeForce Now games through their NVIDIA Shield console, which allows playing without needing a full-fledged PC, NVIDIA could potentially enter the Steam Deck competition. They might develop a system that supports platforms like Steam and GeForce Now.
This could give players the option to either download and play games on the go or use the cloud to save disk space on their devices.
What are NVIDIA’s Plans?
While NVIDIA has yet to confirm the development of the device, there is a possibility that the company might focus on hardware sales instead. However, if NVIDIA does release its own handheld device soon, it would not be a huge surprise.
How could this development impact the handheld PC market? What would it mean for gamers and the market if NVIDIA launches its own handheld PC? Feel free to share your thoughts below.
