- Despite its previous history with hardware, Valve is reaffirming its commitment to the Steam Deck.
- Valve says it hopes to release a Steam Deck 2 in the next two or three years.
- Valve is considering making different-colored Steam Decks.
Last week, Valve surprised us with an OLED version of the Steam Deck. While an improvement in many aspects from the original handheld, it by no means is meant to be a successor to the existing hardware. But Valve wants you to know it is committed to the Steam Deck and a sequel is on the way.
In an interview with Axios, hardware designer Yazan Aldehayyat told the publication that Valve sees the Steam Deck 2 as something they are definitely going to pursue. “We do think that a Steam Deck 2.0 is necessary,” said Aldehayyat. “Steam Deck OLED was necessary. We feel like there’s a road map ahead of us.”
