Valve says it hasn't forgotten about the Steam Deck 2
Valve has confirmed that it is actively developing the Steam Deck 2, aiming for significant upgrades over the original model. The company plans to incorporate lessons learned from previous hardware projects into the new handheld. However, the release is still years away, as Valve is waiting for the right technology to become available.
- ▪Valve is working on the Steam Deck 2, focusing on significant improvements rather than minor tweaks.
- ▪The handheld is expected to feature a more powerful SoC, higher-refresh displays, and options for OLED and LCD screens.
- ▪There is currently no confirmed release date for the Steam Deck 2, and it may be more expensive than its predecessor due to ongoing supply chain issues.
