In yet another reminder of just how flexible Valve\u2019s Steam Deck handheld gaming PC can be, an enterprising Redditor has gotten the Playdate Simulator running on their Steam Deck<\/a>, as shared on Twitter by Valve designer Lawrence Yang<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Playdate, if you\u2019re not familiar, is Panic\u2019s tiny yellow handheld with a crank<\/a>, but similar to the long reservation queue for the Steam Deck, Playdate preorders are backed up for months. If you place a Playdate preorder right now, it isn\u2019t expected to ship until 2023<\/em>. If you already have a Steam Deck and want to mess around with the Playdate\u2019s old-school vibes, though, it looks like it\u2019s possible to do that by installing the free Playdate Simulator.<\/p>\n

You can see a video of the simulator running on Steam Deck in u\/ncarson9\u2019s Reddit post<\/a>. They launch the simulator from the Steam Deck\u2019s menus, navigate to a game, open it up, and spend a few seconds moving around a Zelda<\/em>-like forest and swinging a tiny sword.<\/p>\n

Like many other things with the Steam Deck, getting this set up probably takes some<\/a> tinkering<\/a>. But it\u2019s fun to see one of 2022\u2019s highly coveted handhelds running on another of 2022\u2019s highly coveted handhelds, even in this limited fashion. Is this handheld-ception?<\/p>\n
