If you’re hoping for a Steam Deck 2 or revamped version of Valve’s handheld every year, Valve says you really shouldn’t
2 or revamped version of Valve’s handheld every year, Valve says you really shouldn’t. Valve designers Lawrence Yang and Yazan Aldehayyat made the comments in a recent interview withand said that they want to wait until they can ship a proper generational evolution over the original Steam Deck.
It’s an ironic thing to say considering Valve did, indeed, come out with a Steam Deck model that was only incrementally better – the Steam Deck OLED, which released a year after the Steam Deck with minimal improvements and a better screen. I guess that’s the last incremental update before the Steam Deck 2.“We really do want to wait for a generational leap in computing without sacrificing battery life before we ship the real second generation of Steam Deck,” Yang continued.
“Obviously we'd love to get even more performance in the same power envelope, but that technology doesn't exist yet," Aldehayyat said. "That's what I think we'd call a Steam Deck 2.0.”The Steam Deck can handle most modern games surprisingly well – even Dragon Age: The Veilguard is Steam Deck verified before launch – but performance improvements and, more importantly, better battery life would certainly be welcome.
Yang and Aldehayyat didn’t let slip when they think a Steam Deck 2 might be ready, though, so we’ll have to make do with that limited battery capacity for a while yet.Josh is a freelance writer and reporter who specializes in guides, reviews, and whatever else he can convince someone to commission.
