Project Q is the upcoming streaming only device that will allow you to play games installed on a PlayStation 5 remotely.
It has not been announced if the handheld will allow streaming of games from the cloud and is rumoured to cost between £250 - £300.
Will you be picking one up later this year?
Yeah it’s why I’m on the fence about a Steam Deck. I’m stuck between a Project Q and gaming PC or just getting a Steam Deck with a dock and monitor so my gaming PC is like a Switch. Is that possible with a Steam Deck?
Yes it is possible. You should look at the ROG ally since it runs Windows which may be more to your liking
I thought the Steam Deck was Windows too.
It’s SteamOS (Linux based) with a compatibility layer for Windows games.
Ah I though it had Windows installed.
Is it possible to install Windows 11 on it and use it has a hybrid gaming PC/gaming handheld/everyday PC if it’s connected to a dock with a monitor and keyboard & mouse?
You don’t have to install Windows. The Linux OS can boot into desktop mode and it functions just like a desktop PC with the Dock. I have it hooked up to a monitor and a TV via separate docks and the monitor dock has a mouse and keyboard. It works great.
