I don't use Steam Points for many things, but if there's something I make sure I have all of, it is the startup movies for the Steam Deck. These are the short clips you may see when turning on your Steam Deck after it was powered down, and some of them are really cool. Valve has been publishing different ones that are based on other games, like God of War and Elden Ring. Now, there's a new one based off of one of the best JRPGs last year!

A new startup movie based on Metaphor: ReFantazio was released, and it might be one of my favorites that have come from the official store so far. The 7-second video features Strohl, Hulkenberg, Heismay, and the protagonist unleashing their archetypes, resulting in the Steam Deck logo being created afterwards:

Metaphor: ReFantazio Startup Movie:

You can get the startup movie on the Steam Point Store and it will cost 3,000 points. You get 1 point for every 1 cent you spend, so you will get the 3,000 points required if you spend $30 on the Steam store. Once purchased, you can change the startup movie in the Customization tab in your settings.
