Gabe Newell, head of Valve, has confirmed that there are currently no plans for the company to introduce a game subscription service, like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass or EA's EA Play.
Despite the release of its highly-anticipated and all-new handheld system, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Deck, Newell says that while he understands that subscription services are "clearly a popular option" with some gamers, he doesn't "think it's something [Valve] needs to do" despite ꦉtheir popularity.
He did, however, suggest that the company 💧would be open to working with third-p𝄹arty partners such as Microsoft to "get [subscription services] on Steam".
"I don't think it's something that we think we need to do ourselves, building a subscription 𒁃service at this time," Newell told our friends overꦐ at .
"But for their custo🌠mers, it's clearly a popular꧃ option, and we'd be more than happy to work with them to get that on Steam."
Still undecided on Steam Deck? In our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Deck review, we said: "Steam Deck is everything Valve promisꦜed, a handheld with all the potential of a PC and a huge library of games ready to go," giving it 4.5 stars out of 5.
"Owning it is a game-changer and reviewing it is a nightmare. That's good news for the real customers though because it's a testament to the energy and effort Valve is putting into getting 🍸all the bugs and glitches smoothed out before it ever reaches your hands."
Interestingly, though, Rachel pointed out in her review that while this is a Steam machine, there's currently no easy way to set up other launchers, like the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games Store on Steam Deck, as Epic only provides downloads for Windows PCs an🔯d Mac. We suspect Epic will be looking for solutions sooner rather🦩 than later, but for now, be aware that you can only launch titles from Epic Games if you use open-source launchers.
ICYMI, Valve is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:improving Steam Cloud Sync to make it easier to switch between its handheld and PC and those wanting to find out how much of their library will be available to play on the Steam Deck can now do so 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:right here.
