Nintendo's Switch 2 isn't competing with PC gaming and the Steam Deck, at least not directly, and trying to pit these two handhelds against each other in a straight fight is pointless.

Here's how the Nintendo Switch 2 compares to Valve's Steam Deck, including a closer look at specs, features, and games for both gaming handhelds.

Nintendo at last unveiled its successor to the popular Switch console on Thursday, a major moment for the video game industry that will arrive sometime this year. The release of a new console will be a key milestone in Nintendo’s history after the company released the Switch in 2017 to fanfare and acclaim.
