New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought - Sopuli
Source is KeplerL2, who is generally considered a reliable source for insider
hardware info, particularly on AMD GPU hardware and AMD SoC for consoles.
Previously I would have personally estimated Steam Deck 2 to release mid
2026-early 2027, but the recent info about an upcoming Steam Machine made me
think that maybe I should push back that estimate. Of course even if we assume
this is reliable insider info, a lot can change in couple years, so things can
definitely change.
I don’t know why people are so eager for it, the deck is great, it’s a great purchase. I wish I had gotten the OLED, but I’m very very happy with it. I don’t see that it needs to be replaced annually or even every 2-3 years. It’s like the switch, why not go 4+ years before hardware drives that a new one is possible
Because the first Deck was underpowered at release and is several years old at this point. It’s overdue for a sequel, hopefully one that can handle games at a reasonable resolution this time around.
See other comments, this was on purpose to make it more portable. The deck doesn’t need to be a powerhouse, it needs to be portable. We already have powerhouse desktops
