The Genki Savepoint looks like a PS2 memory card for your Steam Deck, and it could solve one of my biggest handheld issues

Genki Savepoint external SSD for Steam Deck next to PS2 memory card.

I love carrying a chunk of my PC library around on the Steam Deck, but part of me always longs for extra space. Yes, I am being super greedy considering I’ve already modded my handheld with a 2TB drive, and I’ve got a 1TB microSD card on standby just in case. If I’m being real, what I really want is for the concept of memory cards to come back, and that’s exactly what accessory maker Genki currently has on its agenda. 

Live on Kickstarter right now, the Genki Savepoint aims to add a chunk of storage to the best gaming handhelds while only taking up the same room as an old-school memory card. While devices like the Steam Deck OLED sadly don’t have a Magic Gate slot to jam it into, you’ll instead be able to whack it on the back using a magnet and hook directly into USB-C. The result? An instant 2TB storage bump with 10Gbps bandwidth capabilities – ideal for running those big adventures externally.
