That significantly gets quickly set back by the price of online services and games. An old game on Switch is $60 (I have been wanting to buy a few games for my wife and they never went into any significant discount), meanwhile an old game on Steam is $3, so you can build a much larger library on Steam even if you were starting from scratch.

Long story short:

  • Switch + 1 game = Steam Deck
  • Switch + 2 games = Steam Deck + 10 games
