SuiPlay0X1 Hands-On Preview: A Steam Deck Rival That Supports Crypto Games
The SuiPlay0X1 is a crypto-fueled handheld console set to ship this summer, attempting to rival the Steam Deck by supporting not only traditional PC games but also blockchain experiences. At Token2049 in Dubai, we got our hands on the portable console for a brief preview of the soon-to-launch device.

When you first pick up the devic...
