Sorry if this is a stupid post but I know next to nothing about steam decks. I have really been craving a handheld gaming console but there isn’t really anything out there for me. I’ve never really been into Nintendo so a switch doesn’t appeal to me at all, the PS Portal is pretty pointless as well.

Is a steam deck worth getting for someone who has a PS5 (and a Xbox Series S but mainly just plays the PS5) I don’t have the money or really the room for PC gaming and as I said am looking into handheld gaming.

Can I use it simply for PS5 remote play and Game pass and would I need my PS5 on (or in rest mode) for remote play to work on it?

Is it pointless without a steam account?

What does most people use them for and what else should I know about them?
