I am considering buying the Valve Steam Deck 64GB for my bf as a christmas gift. He plays playstation, and I know he loves games like Baldur’s Gate, Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy. He also loves Halo, but hasn’t invested in an Xbox yet.

I bought him a backbone for his birthday, and he’s used it a lot at work as he is a shift worker and often has nothing to do at night while there. He also complains sometimes when he’d like to play playstation in bed, but has it set up in his livingroom.

He seems to enjoy the backbone, but he can’t play the games he normally would at home on it. So my questions are; Would it still be worth getting him the Steam Deck too, or is it a waste of my money? Could he play the games he loves on playstation and Xbox on it? Would it be as satisfying to use as his playstation when he wants to play in bed instead?
