Steam Deck is the brand new handheld console from Valve. As we went hands-on with it for the first time this week, a Valve spokesperson revealed that even the developers behind the games we were playing are yet to get to try the machine.

"Some partners are really generous in that they haven't even seen Decks themselves," said Valve.

"The reason is we haven't had any until this week, right now. These units came in and were really getting booted up by us for the first time a couple of days ago. So we were nervous after inviting you that we wouldn't really receive these in time and we wouldn't have anything to show you. They were in customs."

It's a testament to the Steam Deck that other than a few crashes, the games we got to play ran smoothly, which is a small miracle given the intricacies of PC gaming and the lack of game developer input.
