Steam Deck vs. Switch vs. Mobile: What's your preferred platform for indie gaming on the go?

Posted

With so many portable gaming options available, where do you prefer to play your indie favorites? Discuss performance, game libraries, battery life, and overall experience. Are certain types of indie games better suited for specific platforms?

I prefer to use Switch as a portable indie gaming device. Its portability and exclusive titles makes it a better choice. The battery life and performance are also very reasonable and the library of games are also very considerable.

I think the Steam Deck is the best option to play indie titles on the go, since so many get released on Steam before they make it to consoles or even mobile. Also indie titles often get updated first on Steam, so that's another advantage of playing indie titles on a Steam Deck. I personally don't have one though, I have an Android phone and a Switch so those would be my preferred options lol.

I like playing indie games on my handheld console because it runs well and the battery lasts longer. There are lots of different games to choose from, and it makes the experience more fun. Puzzle and platformer games are especially great to play on the go.
