There are tons of alternative handhelds that can sate your gaming appetite if you can’t snag a Switch 2.

These devices are usually wrangled together under the moniker of âretro handhelds.

They’re typically capable of playing some modern titles or homebrew games.

Steam Deck is a solid alternative to the Switch 2 , but SteamOS is a tough sell.

Retroid and Anbernic all announced they would stop shipping to the U.S. on April 25 .

Some online stores still let you place orders to buy a Retroid Pocket S2, but only the companies themselves know how long that might last.

If you can wait a little bit, there’s a new version called the Pocket S 2 , with a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 chip and crispier 1440p screen.
