hi so i’m sorry if this is an obvious question but i keep trying to find answers on it and i just keep finding answers that don’t entirely answer what i wanna know or conflict with what i thought so i’m turning here
my initial thought when i heard of the steam deck was that it was a very costly console but purchasing it gave you a large portion of steam’s library for free, but now i’m not sure and i’m thinking about getting a steam deck for christmas because there are a lot of steam games i’m becoming interested in. so i’d like to finally get an answer to this before i commit. do you download the games for free on steam deck or do you still have to purchase them?? again i’m sorry for the dumb question, but thanks in advance
No, you will have access to whatever games you already own on steam.
Steam sales are where the value comes from and a lot of games are discounted right now for black Friday sales, so if you are going to get a steam deck you should get on there and start building your library.
