Nope! The Steam Deck is a standalone device, kinda like a portable gaming console. It doesn't need a PC to work since it's built to let you play your Steam games on the go. It's pretty much a handheld PC all by itself.

Absolutely not. The Steam Deck is its own beast - think of it as carrying your PC gaming library in your pocket. No external PC required.

Not at all. The Steam Deck is designed to be entirely independent, so you don't need a PC to use it. It's a self-contained gaming system.
