Id like to get my wife a steam deck for Xmas but All that appears to be left of the original steam deck is the 256gb. Anyone have insight as to whether this would be enough? She likes cyberpunk, RDR2, and Control.

Should I just shoot for a higher capacity OLED when they’re released?

    256gb is good. Just put a good sd card in it for added space. Or you can wait a couple if days and try to get the new oled model!

    I think getting the OLED is a no-brainer unless your budget is severely limited. It is just so much better, besides the screen also in AAA gaming battery life.

    The easiest way to find out if all these games fit on the internal SSD simultaneously is to add up the minimum disk space requirements from the Steam store page

    Cyberpunk 2077: 70 GB (+35 GB for the Phantom Liberty DLC)
    RDR2: 150 GB
    Control: 42 GB

    Total: 262 GB (297 GB with CP2077 DLC)

    So obviously these games won’t fit in a 256 GB model, you need 512 GB.

    It depends on user’s habits. I have a 256gb for a year and so far I haven’t considered an ssd upgrade, because I have literally too much space (rn I have 8 titles installed, only play one of them, and still have half of ssd free. And that’s not counting emulators and roms). And some people install 1TB ssd and still add microSD card, because obviously 1TB is not enough for them.
