Lmao.
Subnautica is on sale on the Switch this week, and I’ve been meaning to play it for a while. But I’m not sure if I should just play it on PC instead.
While it’s still expensive, you can get the base model Steam Deck for $400 and put in a $50 512GB SSD off of Amazon. The only reason to buy anything other than the $400 model is if money is no concern and you want the etched screen and a premium case. The SSD swap takes like 5 minutes.
If you prefer the form factor of the Switch, go for it. All else being equal, it’s definitely better on PC. (Less buggy, mod tools, better graphics, mouse control…)
I haven’t played it on the Switch, but I will say the performance was terrible on the XBone. I played the sequel on the Series X, and it was a much better experience. That said, the sequel isn’t as good as the original. Still excited for the 3rd one to come out though.
Anyway, unless they optimized it really well for the Switch, I would recommend PC. The Switch is not a very powerful piece of hardware.

All these people talking up either PC features or Switch formfactors, and no one’s bringing up Steam Deck…
Highly recommend getting one, then you don’t need to split your library.
Steam Deck is the best. The openness of PC gaming, the handheldness of the Switch.
This is by far my fave feature so far. There is no question, if it’s available on PC I get it on PC
Well I already have a Switch, and Steam Decks are expensive. So, should I spend $20 on a new game, or $600 on a new platform?

They sure can smell an opportunity.
