Can I Use My Steam Deck Charger in Vietnam?

Good to go

You're good — plug right in.

Your device's voltage range matches this country, and the plug fits. You can use it directly — no adapter or converter needed. As a final check, confirm the voltage range printed on the device label.

The short answer

The Steam Deck's 45W USB-C charger is dual-voltage (100–240V) and works worldwide. Pack a plug adapter; a multiport GaN charger handles the Deck plus your phone at once.

Vietnam runs 220V at 50Hz. Vietnam runs 220V at 50Hz with sockets that commonly accept both Type A (US flat blades) and Type C (Europlug). The Type A fit is a trap: the plug goes in, but a US single-voltage device receives 220V and can overheat. Pack a Type C adapter and confirm your devices are dual-voltage.
