One of Valve's developers accidentally teased a certain application running on the Steam Deck, before covertly covering it up, in a now-deleted promotional video for the Steam Deck. In the original trailer that celebrated Valve no longer requiring a reservation for purchasing the Steam Deck, if you paid close attention, you could see something that might look familiar, if you've ever emulated Nintendo Switch games. Yuzu Emulator was featured in the library of a Valve dev, showing that even they're using the Steam Deck as an emulation powerhouse. The video lasted a few hours before someone pointed it out, after which it was immediately deleted, and reuploaded with a new version that featured Portal 2's boxart where the custom Yuzu Emulator boxart had been previously.

Remember, emulation is legal.

Switched kicked off the hybrid gaming experience, but the Steam Deck is where it's at. I do hope they make a slimmer/smaller handheld, though.

Amazing handheld.

Note that you can still see EmuDeck on the far right in the new trailer

Some games run even better than native with mods. Link's Awakening at a locked 60 FPS.
