The Steam Deck has no doubt changed handheld PC gaming as we know it, but with Prime Day creeping up, many of you are no doubt considering alternatives. With so many different options on the battlefield right now, Amazon’s sale could be the perfect chance to grab something that’s better for your playstyle. So, to save you from being overwhelmed by a sea of different specs, price points, and game store options, I’ve whipped together a shortlist of devices worth checking on July 17.
Before we get started, there’s no guarantee that all the best gaming handheld options will show up on Amazon’s sale. Sure, we’re bound to see Prime Day Steam Deck deals pop up in some form, whether they apply to accessories or discounts direct at Valve, but actual device discounts aren’t a given. At the same time, sometimes unexpected record-low prices can pop up on even the latest gadgets, meaning it’s well worth consistently checking in on any desirables regardless.
