Valve confirms Steam Deck 2 development is at full pace, but wont say anything else

Valve has just dropped another confirmation that the Steam Deck 2 is on the way. But that’s really all that the company is willing to reveal. In a recent interview with IGN, Valve confirmed that development on the next-gen handheld console is progressing at full pace.

Why there’s no Steam Deck 2… yet Valve Steam Deck 2 being in active development isn’t surprising. Valve has already revealed that it had plans for a next-gen model a while ago, but the company was against the idea of annual hardware releases. Just like with its games (Half-Life 3), Valve doesn’t want to make a sequel till there’s some “generational leap“.
