When it comes to booting up your Steam Deck, it is nice to be greeted with a unique video to showcase the Deck turning on. A while ago, Valve agreed and put startup movies on the Steam Point store, and even added a few that were inspired by different games like Persona 5 Royal, Elden Ring, Hades, and Dead Cells. Well, out of nowhere, Valve added three more to the point store, and they are for some pretty big games.

The three new startup movies are inspired by God of War: Rangarok, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, and The Last of Us Part 1. Personally, I was really excited to see God of War there, but the movie is just okay. I ended up liking The Last of Us more purely because Harry Poitter's movie was too short. If it was longer, I would have been all in, but unfortunately, it was only 4 seconds long:

God of War: Ragnarok:

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions:

The Last of Us Part 1

Each of these startup videos can be bought for 3,000 points over on the Steam Point shop, and for those who don't know, you get points whenever you buy a game on the Steam store. You get 100 points per dollar you spend, so a $30 game will equal out to one new startup movie from the point shop. Even if not all of the movies are amazing, I am still happy to see this!

Let us know which is your favorite new movie in the comments.
