Valve is already talking about Steam Deck 2
And speaking of Valve, recently Steam Deck designer Greg Coomer assured that the company is already thinking about the successor to its recently released handheld. Unless something major changes, there will be a next generation of Steam Deck products in the future." And far from stopping there, Coomer also dared to talk about all the possible changes and improvements it could include. "The theme, size and shape will change, and it might even become a streaming machine."
The statements were accompanied by others from Pierre-Loup Griffais, one of the developers of the console, who added that the hypothetical Steam Deck 2 will have the battery issue in mind. "We have already made improvements [to battery life] between the time of launch and now. For example, we’ve made it possible to play refresh rates at 40 Hz, and we’re working hard to give users more control over how long their battery lasts. We’re also constantly optimizing the operating system to reduce battery consumption when playing games that are not too demanding. This will improve the battery life. In any case, battery issues are at the top of our list of future improvements."
The spectacular Steam Deck manual already warned of the future of the hardware and did so in the following terms. "Steam Deck represents the first in a new category of Steam handheld gaming PCs. In the future, Valve will follow up on this product with improvements and iterations to hardware and software, bringing new versions of Steam Deck to market.”
“The Steam Deck is another PC in another form, but Steam has many other uses besides this handheld device, such as on TV or on the desktop, and we will continue to work to satisfy our customers as much as possible,” said Greg Coomer.
