Alternative gaming devices at the LAN

[albert]

Is anyone planning on turning up at the LAN with a non-PC gaming device?

Examples may be a Steam Deck, XBox, PS4/5, Linux PC, Nintendo Switch.

Purporse of this question is to understand if we cater for devices that support our main games but may not have the tradtional x64 x86 architecture.

Also do these devices work on a LAN.

I think Ghosty is turning up with his Xbox. In the past ProtoJay has brought his PlayStation along too, and I've also seen a few steam decks.

You're obviously more than welcome to bring along whatever you fancy. We're also more than happy for such devices to be connected up to the TV - which I'll be bringing along regardless of numbers.

As for how they integrate with those gaming on a PC, I'll have to defer to others. I know a lot of games do have cross play now so I would imagine it's doable for at least certain titles? This is likely using external / online servers of course, but then most of our games sadly lack LAN support these days.

I'm bringing my steam deck and docking station. If I brought the XBox, the wife would kill me as the kids would drive her up the wall!
I don't really have any party games on steam though.

Same, and if Zelda gets delivered early, I'll bring the Switch but I ain't banking on that.
