Valve’s new Steam Controller including a phone mount: Mechanism’s Basegrip turns your handset into a mini Steam Link rig
Valve is reportedly working on a new Steam Controller variant that features a built-in phone mount, effectively turning any smartphone into a dedicated Steam Link device. The 'Basegrip' mechanism is designed for ergonomic stability, allowing players to stream their high-end PC library directly to their mobile device without the need for clunky third-party clips. This move signals Valve's continued interest in the handheld market, bridging the gap between the Steam Deck and traditional mobile gaming.
