Frame rate and optimization issues currently leave CS2 anything but playable on Steam Deck, but it appears that Valve is working quickly to fix things.

      Can you not connect a mouse and keyboard to the deck?

          The only way people should play is MY way! Get out of here computer-with-attached-controls users, you’re worthless and not welcome!

              Anything can be suboptimal hardware, the Steam Deck is no different from any other computer and does not even have to be a handheld.

              And I do not play or own a Steam Deck or alike, if that concerns you. Accept other peoples hardware and ways to play, it’s a whole lot easier than whatever you’re doing.

          Can it not output the display to, say, a TV?

          The thing could be a budget gaming PC for some people. Most people are not going to be competing super hard; they just want to play the game and have fun. Who else would be taking up the bronze and silver brackets?

            Yes, they sell a dock just for this purpose.

              And pretty much any USBC dock will work as well.

      Steam Deck is not limited to handheld, you can hook it up to a desk setup with USB -C. Also, I used to play CSGO handheld. I’m in the low silvers even on PC and it doesn’t make a big difference to me skill wise. You can be really precise with trackpad + gyroscope.

        You might have enough time to aim with a trackpad in silver, thats definetly not the case in higher ranks.

            I just want to play on my skill level, and not 5 ranks below.

            It doesnt have anything to do with me tryharding, it just isnt fun when its the hardware that loses the game and not me.

          Dang it’s a good thing people don’t play games for fun otherwise you might actually have a point, doofus

          Gyro is easily comparable to using a mouse

            Not according to literally every test ever done on it. It always falls behind far enough to not be viable competitively

                Ive owned a steam controller for several years and regularly use gyro aim in many games that aren’t competitive.

                But again, it’s still behind a traditional mouse as far as accuracy. There are tons of videos on this, even aim training software has data about this.

      If you bought a compatible game that suddenly updates to be unusable on your platform, I think that’s a big issue…

          For some time only. It was paid before and after to access ranked

      Per your edit:

      Anyone else remember when “competitive shooter” also implied it could be run on a fucking potato with decent speeds? Or that competitive games aren’t still meant to be played for fun by the vast majority of people who are gonna be playing?

      It’s not targeted exclusively towards professionals, is it?

      What if they wanna play custom hide and seek maps? Doesn’t have to be just competitive matches.
