News Valve Exec Suggests It Will Be 'A Couple of Years' Before Steam Deck 2 Arrives

[Admin]

It doesn't look like Valve will launch a new Steam Deck until 2025, after a senior developer described the platform as a stable target for the next couple of years.

Valve is making a ton of investments in the software Linux-side, from drivers to compilers and more. There is still more performance to be gotten out of the Deck 1.

- all of which investments will payoff when the Deck 2 finally arrives. BTW.

honestly thats good.

a handheld shouldnt be like a phone & get new model so often.

that way the improvements are large and worth the $.

 

[-Fran-]

And that will be the end of the Steam Deck, since Valve doesn't count to 3.

Maybe the third iteration will have another name instead?

Same with the Index 2, if they call it that 😀

Steam Deck: Alyx

I love my steam deck. I mainly use it for older games, not so much new ones. Lot of emulators, played all of the Tomb Raiders and on Dead Space 3 right now and only on DS3 have i had some issues but nothing i can't deal with. I pay it for the game play not the graphics so I'm fine with that. Even though there are now others that are more powerful, i feel like with them running windows it might eat up more resources. I do have my dual booted, but i've gone into windows like twice and just didn't like it. It has its spot in the mobile gaming.

The only thing I do wish is for a brighter screen. Thats about it.

Steam Deck 2: Episode 2

Look, At the end of the day, it's simply impossible for a tech company to develop new hardware when their CEO lives in New Zealand. It's just science.

It's never been done before, and I don't expect it to happen anytime soon.

Unexpected albeit disappointing news though this is exactly why I didn't buy a Steam Deck in the first place. It's probably a shrewd business move as Microsoft hasn't really cared to optimize Windows and AMD's boosting behaviors leave a lot to be desired.

They should instead make the Deck the minimum hardware requirements so publishers can't just make unoptimized trash.

As the joke was already made, I state that I agree: HL3 IS HL ALYX.

Not surprising. The Steam Deck is less about the hardware, it's about Valve getting Proton working on the majority of games found on Steam. That is the priority not getting new hardware out.

If you've played it, you would know it is not HL:3
