Noah Kupetsky

A lover of gaming since 4, Noah has grown up with a love and passion for the industry. From there, he started to travel a lot and develop a joy for handheld and PC gaming. When the Steam Deck released, it just all clicked. Utilizing his love of writing and staying up to date with the video game industry, as well as his past experience as a streamer, Noah created SteamDeckHQ with the intention of being a Steam Deck hub that houses news, guides, and performance reviews for games with multiple tested groups of settings to help others get the most out of their devices. Noah loves story-heavy games (RPGs and JRPGs included), as well as sandbox games and indies. His favorite all time series is Kingdom Hearts, but other than replaying it for the 200th time, you can catch him enjoying RimWorld and trying out new indie titles.
