Is there an upgraded model due out this year?

Thinking of getting the Oled version. Not the 1tb though.

Not gamed for approx 8 years or so as i not had a pc or console since then.

I do have a steam account from back then which i can still access.

Thing is, i was always a keyboard and mouse gamer. Tried Playstation controller some time ago on a friends and struggled aiming when shooting..lol

I used to play JC3 and GTAV. Miss those games. How are they on the deck? I like driving games too.

I am a complete noob when it comes to the SD. I have checked out youtube looking at reviews of them.

Any advice appreciated...

GTAV runs well. No idea about JC3. I'm the same, but given that I don't play much mp anymore I've given myself to the sticks / pads / gyro. It's easier than you think, but if nothing is stopping you from using a desk I'd just stick with that tbh.

No, no room for a pc at the moment due to circumstances...

Remember you can connect a controller, keyboard and mouse (and also a monitor) to your SD if you want. Obviously takes up more space but far less than a full system

I got a 75% wireless keyboard and wireless mouse just to go with my Steam Deck. With a tablet stand balanced on my chest I can lay back on my sofa and play fps games with m&kb like a good un. All fits in a 15" laptop bag when I go anywhere.

Use the ProtonDB website to check compatibility - JC3 and GTAV are both rated Gold, so can be expected to work well.

87% of Steam's top 1000 titles are playable on Deck according to ProtonDB. 3% run but aren't fully playable, 4% don't run at all (often due to anti-cheat), and the remaining 6% have no data (probably mostly software like Wallpaper Engine and 3D Mark).

I barely use my laptop these days. Unless it's a strategy game, if it runs on Deck I'd rather play on Deck. So basically my laptop is used for Total War Warhammer & Flight Simulator. I may as well just sell it at this point...

Nothing announced yet. With the next generation of mobile chips already out, you'd think they're already working on the next custom APU for Steam Deck 2. Who knows though with Valve Time.
