I take my game library with me when I travel and there’s no reason to miss out with these Black Friday handheld gaming PC deals

Handheld gaming devices have rapidly evolved, and it's a misconception that one must always buy the latest model for portable PC gaming. Many budget-friendly options provide a great gaming experience, especially with Black Friday discounts. The most enjoyable handheld PC games are often casual titles rather than high-end triple-A games. The Steam Deck, released in 2022, remains relevant in 2025. Newer models like the ROG Xbox Ally may not significantly outperform older models, as they often use similar components. The ROG Xbox Ally X offers some improvements but at a high price. The Legion Go S has impressive specs but comes with a hefty price tag. Accessories like ergonomic grips and quality headphones enhance the gaming experience, and shoppers should look for deals during the holiday season. It is possible to enjoy gaming without spending excessively, thanks to various budget options available.

Steam Deck Can Now Download Games While The Screen Is Off

Valve's Steam Deck has introduced a new feature that allows users to continue downloading games even when the screen is turned off. Announced on November 4, this update enables the device to enter sleep mode after completing downloads and is automatically activated when connected to a power source. Users can also manually enable it while on battery by adjusting settings. When the screen is off, users can check download progress by moving the device or pressing any button, which displays a status screen. This feature is currently available in the Steam Deck beta and preview channels, with plans for a wider rollout.
