I've been using my Steam Deck for months, playing everything from indie titles to AAA games. Sure, it gets warm, especially during long gaming sessions or with more demanding titles, but I wouldn't say it overheats. It's pretty much what you'd expect from a powerful handheld device.

Mine gets a bit toasty, especially when I'm pushing it with games like Cyberpunk 2077, but nothing I'd call overheating. The built-in cooling system does its job well.
