US EditionValve Confirms Steam Deck 2 Development Is at Full Pace, but Wont Say Anything Else
Valve says Steam Deck 2 is in development, but the company is waiting for chip gains that would deliver a meaningful performance and battery-life upgrade.
- Valve programmer Pierre-Loup Griffais confirmed the company is "hard at work" on the Steam Deck 2, though no firm release date has been provided for the next-generation handheld.
- Griffais explained that Valve is waiting for significant advancements in SoC technology to ensure a "worthwhile enough performance upgrade," rejecting marginal gains that compromise battery life.
- The original Steam Deck is now four years old and struggles to run some modern games, with battery life remaining a "massive problem" that drains during God of War in just 90 minutes.
- While development continues on the handheld, Valve is prioritizing other hardware launches, with the Steam Controller arriving May 4 and the Steam Machine and Steam Frame remaining on track.
- Valve views its hardware projects as a connected evolution, applying lessons from the Steam Controller and Steam Machine to future releases; the Steam Deck 2 should benefit from these architectural improvements.
