Over four years ago, we were already reporting that Valve was working on a Steam Deck 2<\/a>. In 2023, Valve said the Deck 2 was at least a couple of years away<\/a>. So, what the current sitrep? Short answer: still in progress, likely waiting on a decent new chip.<\/p>\n

Speaking to IGN<\/a>, Valve rep and Steam Deck designer Pierre-Loup Griffais says that the company is “hard at work” on the Steam Deck 2, which is great. However, there’s still no firm release date for the device.<\/p>\n

Griffais says that learnings from everything from the new Steam Machine<\/a> and Steam Controller<\/a> will go into the device, but still wouldn’t give any guidance on a possible release date. As ever, the sticking point seems to be a sufficiently advanced new APU in terms of both performance and efficiency.<\/p>\n
