SuiPlay0X1 Hands-On Preview: A Steam Deck Rival That Supports Crypto Games

Summary

The SuiPlay0X1 is a crypto-fueled handheld console launching this summer, designed to compete with the Steam Deck by supporting traditional PC games and blockchain experiences. It features a 7-inch LCD screen with excellent color accuracy and holds 30 frames per second while playing high-graphic games like Elden Ring. The console is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U CPU and 512GB SSD storage, priced at $599, with pre-orders already sold out. It runs on the Linux-based Playtron operating system, allowing access to games from Steam, Epic Games, and GOG, as well as seven native crypto games. The device abstracts crypto elements for user convenience and supports the SUI token and Game Dollar stablecoin. While it has quality controls, its ergonomic design may not be as comfortable for extended use compared to competitors. The SuiPlay0X1 aims to integrate crypto gaming seamlessly, potentially attracting mainstream gamers despite current market trends.
