Yes. And the first one to ship something pocket sized with SteamOS and able to run Balatro is going to break the Internet.
For playing Balatro on the go, I just use a tablet (Dell Latitude that is, so normal Linux desktop)
The issue with Balatro is that you or at least I need some screen estate do easily differentiate suits, and I don't play in colorblind mode. Then the game doesn't really benefit from joysticks, it's rather a game where you point and click, but don't move. So all in all just a good fit for a tablet.
Ooh. I'll have to try that. Thanks!
I think it's possibly the best way to play it, sure my majority of play time is on PC and it's close but it's way better than on the Deck, or a phone mind you. Yeah Deck has touch but Tablet is just better
It's possible to play Steam (and GOG/Epic/whatever) games on phones nowadays via GameNative
