Fresh sales estimates for handheld gaming PCs have surfaced, and it\u2019s now clear that Steam Deck has left ROG Ally, Legion Go, and others trailing far behind.<\/i><\/p>\n

Since its debut in 2022, the Steam Deck<\/i> has spearheaded a major shift in the gaming industry: the rise of handheld PCs designed specifically for gaming. These devices promise the power of a traditional PC in a compact form factor, leading to releases like the ROG Ally<\/i> and Legion Go<\/i>. However, until now, one question remained unanswered: how do these devices compare in sales?<\/p>\n

While much has been said about Steam Deck\u2019s<\/i> numbers, little attention has been given to its competition \u2013 the Asus ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, and MSI Claw<\/i>. According to a report by The Verge<\/i>, citing figures from IDC<\/i>, Valve\u2019s Steam Deck<\/i> has outsold its competitors by a landslide. In 2023 and 2024, it accounted for over 50% of all notebook PC sales<\/i>, shipping more than 3.7 million units<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the combined sales of its rivals haven\u2019t even cracked the 2 million mark<\/i>. While the handheld PC market is still in its infancy, projections suggest that by 2025, another 2 million units<\/i> will be sold across Valve<\/i> and other manufacturers. Even AMD<\/i> was taken aback by these figures, with marketing chief Frank Azor<\/i> calling the growth \u201castonishing<\/i>\u201d considering that handheld PCs didn\u2019t even exist three years ago.<\/p>\n

The Future of Handheld Gaming PCs<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The trajectory for these devices is brighter than ever. Valve<\/i> has repeatedly teased the arrival of Steam Deck 2<\/i>, and while its launch remains some time away, the company has also set its sights on expanding SteamOS<\/i>. The Linux-based operating system will soon be available to third-party manufacturers. In fact, the upcoming Lenovo Legion Go S<\/i> will ship with SteamOS<\/i> pre-installed, and Valve<\/i> remains confident that SteamOS<\/i> will not compete directly with Windows<\/i>.<\/p>\n
