US EditionHow Long Will Players Have To Wait For The Steam Deck 2?
KeplerL2 said Valve was aiming for a 2028 launch, but RAM and NAND shortages could push the Steam Deck 2 out further.
- Hardware insider Kepler2 leaked on NeoGAF that Valve is targeting a 2028 release for the Steam Deck, though ongoing RAM and NAND shortages might force a delay.
- Valve previously stated it intends to wait for a significant generational leap in computing power without compromising battery life before releasing a successor to the 2022 handheld.
- Kepler2 revealed the console uses a semi-custom System on a Chip setup, which could allow Valve to integrate more modern components than the PS6 and Xbox Helix if delays persist.
- Players may face a wait of two to three years for the updated device, though the potential for better hardware specs provides a silver lining to the extended development timeline.
- Nothing is certain due to the current RAM crunch, and Valve has yet to officially confirm a release date as the Steam Deck remains a long-term development priority.
