Request Help Picking Game Device

[Kitter Bitters]

Hello,

So I have The Sims 4 which I originally got on Mac Origin and then it switched to the EA app.

I want to find a hand held gaming system that would let me play my Sims because I already own a ton of content, and maybe would let me find new games to play.

I have a Switch and I love that it’s handheld. I don’t really play on the tv.

Is there such a thing? I don’t know a ton about video games so I’m not really a serious gamer.

Appreciate any help!

Steam Deck but the prices just shot through the roof thanks to the RAM shortage.

Steam Deck

This is the Way

Third: Steam Deck.

I also really enjoy the Legion Go S (Steam OS, too), but prices are absurd.

I have the games on the EA app but not the steam app. Will it still work?

With a third party launcher, you could get it to work.

To have native support you'd have to buy a handheld that runs windows. The Lenovo Legion comes in both Steam OS and Windows options. ASUS Ally also runs windows.

I was also going to mention or suggest Steam Deck. My partner just got his and he's been loving it, but the price is uh...well, pricey.

Thank you all! ASUS Ally looks like it might be okay but not sure it’s worth it just for the sims

Why not play it through the EA application on the Mac you already own?

I wanted handheld.

Surface Tablet might work but it's a Microsoft device. But also check with a technician about compatibility. Having too many things bothers me sometimes depending on what they are so I figured it might be difficult to have two handhelds considering you already have a Switch and a Mac if I understood the Mac Origin comment correctly. Not really sure if that is an application, an OS, etc...

Or ask someone to jailbreak your switch if it's possible.
