Does the Steam Deck get hot?
Hot take: The Steam Deck's warmth is just its way of giving you a warm hug for being an awesome gamer. But really, all powerful handhelds heat up. It's normal.

In my experience, the Steam Deck does warm up but it's nothing to worry about. I've played for hours and, sure, it gets warm, but so does every gaming device. Just use it on a hard, flat surface and you're golden.
Yeah, the Steam Deck can get a bit toasty, especially during those marathon gaming sessions or when you're pushing it with more demanding games. It's packing some serious hardware in a portable format, so some heat is expected. Just make sure you're not blocking the vents and maybe take a break now and then to let it cool down a bit.
Honestly, it doesn't get as hot as people make it out to be. I've used mine for long periods and it's been totally fine. Cool your jets, folks.
