Nope, you can't directly upgrade the Steam Deck's eMMC storage to NVMe. The models with eMMC are kinda stuck with it since the hardware doesn't support swapping for NVMe. However, you’ve still got options like using a microSD card for extra storage. Not as fast as NVMe, but it gets the job done for more space.

Actually, you kinda got it wrong there. The Steam Deck doesn't let you swap out its eMMC for an NVMe directly because of how it's built. The higher-end models come with NVMe SSDs, but if you've got the eMMC version, you're looking at external solutions like SD cards for additional storage. It's not the same, but it's something.

I've seen a lot of confusion about this, but trust me, switching the Steam Deck's eMMC with an NVMe SSD isn't a thing. The models are specific - eMMC stays eMMC, NVMe stays NVMe. But hey, microSD cards can expand your space easily, so all is not lost!

Nah, you can't upgrade the Steam Deck eMMC to NVMe. It's like wishing for a unicycle to become a sports car - cool idea, but not happening.
