Last month, after some rumors, Valve officially revealed Steam Deck – a new Switch-style mobile game system.

IGN originally had exclusive access to the technology, but now Valve has opened “hands-on” play sessions to many other media outlets. This has led to the usual comparisons you’d expect whenever new devices are released.

Sean Hollister of The Verge posted a side-by-side comparison to Valve’s new system next to Nintendo’s handheld hybrid, and as you might expect – the Steam Deck is a lot bigger than the Switch. Hollister himself notes how “huge” it is compared to the Nintendo system.

I held and played Steam Deck.

It’s gigantic compared to the Nintendo Switch.

I didn’t necessarily mind that. https://t.co/1GfGXRua4f pic.twitter.com/XLbDE9D9s2

Of course, the comparisons didn’t stop there. Giant Bomb’s video producer, Jan Ochoa, went a little further with the Steam Deck image along with not only the Switch but also Sega Game Gear, PlayStation Vita and Nintendo’s classic, Game Boy Advance.

Unfortunately, there are no side-by-side comparisons to the Switch OLED next to Steam Deck yet, as the revised Nintendo model won’t be released until October. However, we have the dimensions of both systems. Each device will have a 7-inch screen.

OLED Switch: 239mm x 102mm x 28.7mm, Vapor Surface: 298mm x 117mm x 49mm

Valve’s Steam Deck is available to pre-order now in select regions and will begin shipping in December 2021.

What do you think of the Steam Deck compared to the size of the Switch? What about those other movables on display? Is it the size you expected? Leave your thoughts below.
