Steam Deck Competitor SuiPlay0X1 Hands-On Overview: Cryptocurrency-Friendly Gaming Device Offers Potential Alternative to Valve's Handheld Console
Gaming, Crypto, and Web3: SuiPlay0X1 Comes to Steam Deck's Turf This Summer
Excitement is brewing in the tech world as the SuiPlay0X1, a new handheld gaming console, is set to make its debut this summer. Packing a punch with crypto integrations and blockchain experiences, this device aims to give the Steam Deck a run for its money. We got a sneak peek at Token2049 and shared our thoughts on this exciting new product.
At first glance, SuiPlay0X1 seems to be a well-built device with impressive specs and a sharp 7-inch LCD screen. While Elden Ring played smoothly on it, maintaining graphic quality, gamers might be a bit disappointed that the Steam Deck, at a lower price point, offers an OLED screen.However, Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, told us that the screen is one of the highest-end LCD screens available.
One point where it really shines is its crypto integration. With the Linux-based Playtron operating system, the SuiPlay0X1 stands out in the market with its smooth performance, impressive specs, and built-in web3 capabilities. Plus, it's optimized to allow gamers to play titles from Steam, Epic Games, and GOG stores, as well as games that utilize the Sui network.
The SuiPlay0X1 creators have high hopes for the device, hoping to see other developers use PlaytronOS in their devices to compete in the market. However, the comfort and ergonomics of the device may require some improvements to draw a wider audience.
The SuiPlay0X1 Wallet, built on the Sui blockchain, supports the SUI token and the recently announced Game Dollar stablecoin. Furthermore, games from other networks will also be available to play on the device, if they're available on supported storefronts.
With its unique focus on crypto-based gaming and digital asset management, the SuiPlay0X1 brings something new to the table compared to other gaming devices like the Steam Deck and Solana Saga. Let's see if mainstream gamers take notice when it hits the market this summer!
