In terms of power,

Are Steam Decks about equal to Xbox Series S?

I got one as a gift ages ago, but never really touch it anymore.

I basically only ever used it for BG3. I assume it comes down to how well games are optimized, but if we’re looking at 1080p 30 FPS…

I think the Deck is slightly worse, but not too much worse.

Should I keep the Xbox around for more intensive games, like Final Fantasy 16 or Expedtion 33? I’ve been tempted to sell it to try and fund a Steam Machine as well.

    Unless you need HDMI CEC, want the small form factor or can’t put together a Lego kit, building your own PC will probably be cheaper and/or have better performance than a Steam Machine.
