I’m looking into purchasing a steamdeck for my kids. Ican I attach my 2 old Xbox controllers to it, so the kids can play together?
Most multiplayer articles talk about playing with remote players.
Also, should I go for a more expensive version? It seems like I can swap the SSD myself.
Apparently you can connect up to 4 Xbox controllers, but only one at a time can be the “Primary” controller, the one that moves around the UI and picks the games, etc.

I don’t know why it would be different with Xbox controllers, but with Stadia controllers I can controller the UI with either controller.
At the same time?
Yeah, with both connected I can go from controller to controller and use both on the menu.
