Don’t expect a proper successor to the Steam Deck anytime soon.
Valve recently revealed the Steam Deck OLED, an updated version of the Steam Deck with a new OLED display and better battery. While the company has called the new handheld the “definitive first generation Steam Deck,” it’s not quite a Steam Deck 2.
If anyone is wondering when a proper successor for the Steam Deck will appear, it seems it’ll be at least two to three years until that happens, according to Valve.
Lawrence Yang, UX designer at Valve, told Gizmodo in an interview that the company is actually developing the next Steam Deck, but it’s not quite ready to be called a Steam Deck 2.
“We are working on it,” he said. ”We want to make a proper successor to the Steam Deck, but a lot of it is bound by the performance.
