Xbox has made no secret of its interest in fostering a closer relationship with Nintendo.

Will any of this happen?

We’ll know soon enough.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The cheapest Steam Deck also landed with an RRP of $399.

The price remains one of the biggest questions going into the Direct.

They appear to be slightly larger, with bigger shoulder buttons and refined button placement.
