Steam Deck 2:
After multiple stabs at the hardware market, Valve finally hit big with the Steam Deck — a handheld gaming console built to play PC games on the go. The black behemoth portable has silenced any naysayers, proving to be a hugely popular Nintendo Switch alternative that used a killer combo of Linux, SteamOS, and a Proton compatibility layer to run an ever-increasing number of the millions of games in the Steam library.

Such unprecedented success for a PC-centric handheld has unsurprisingly drawn the eyes of several competitors. Be it the Windows-powered ASUS ROG Ally, cloud gaming-focused systems like the Razer Edge, or maybe even the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2, the Steam Deck should remain a fan favorite, but some of its shortcomings will become a little harder to live with as its rivals start to up their game.

With that in mind, here’s what we know so far about Valve’s Steam Deck successor, from release date and price rumors, to early confirmed details, plus all the things we want to see improved for the Steam Deck 2.

Yes, Valve has confirmed that it will release a Steam Deck 2. Though it might not carry that exact moniker, the gaming giant has repeatedly talked about the Steam Deck and its SteamOS platform as an ongoing product line. In an official booklet released to mark the six-month anniversary of the Deck’s release, Valve specifically called it a “multi-generational product line” that will be “supported well into the foreseeable future” and promised to “build new versions to be even more open and capable than the first version of Steam Deck has been.” Valve president Gabe Newell also told Edge (via PC Gamer) in an interview that the Deck is a “permanent addition” to the PC gaming landscape.

Will there be a Steam Deck Pro?
Official talk of new versions of the Steam Deck being on the cards does technically leave the door slightly ajar for a “Steam Deck Pro.” Instead of a full upgrade and design overhaul, this could be a mid-generation upgrade to the existing hardware, equivalent to rival the long-rumored but never-materialized “Nintendo Switch Pro,” and akin to the PlayStation Pro line that Sony tends to launch in the middle of a console cycle. This seems unlikely, however. Talking to The Verge, Valve engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais said:

Based on the quote, it appears that, for now, the company has no plans to develop a “Pro” Steam Deck model. At the same time, Griffais didn’t necessarily rule it out, so we can’t be totally sure.
