Just curious as I want to replace my original Steam Deck before the OLED releases.
Is a Steam Deck safe to sell after performing a factory reset? As in, will the next owner be able to obtain any passwords to my steam account or any other account/personal details?
Thanks in advance!
If you are skeptical about doing a factory reset, I would recommend creating a SteamOS recovery boot drive on a USB and completely obliterate any files and a full factory reset.
Doing a factory reset in the settings will suffice though.
No, it will probably talk about you behind your back sometimes - also the buyer could scape your dead skin from the thumbsticks and the cracks in the case and use your DNA to clone you.
Yes it deletes everything including all user info. It literally resets the console to factory preset.
Yes but let them know THEY need a steam account to use it. I’ve sold 2 in the past and i cannot stress that enough. A lot of new users buy steam decks n just don’t know what they are getting into.
