Valve may release Steam Deck 2 after 2026

Reports suggest Valve is considering a successor to its Steam Deck handheld gaming device, though no official announcement has been made. The company is reportedly aiming for significant performance improvements before releasing a new device. Valve's SteamOS designer indicated a new Steam Deck is unlikely before 2026, as the company seeks substantial performance and power efficiency gains. The price of a potential Steam Deck 2 is speculated to be higher than the current model. While details are scarce, rumors point to a 900p OLED screen and potential use of non-AMD processors. The future of a Steam Deck 2 is uncertain, especially with SteamOS now available on other handhelds.
