Valve's Next-Gen Steam Deck Is Already In The Works - And The Changes Could Be Huge

Some interesting rumors have appeared in the latest edition of the Famitsu Weekly Magazine, all of which are related to the Game Valve console that is widely decorated, The Steam Deck. First shared by video games Chronicle, this article contains interviews with Valve developers who explain the company’s plan for Deck Steam. Based on the interview, one thing seems quite clear-the possibility we will see the second generation of steam decks in the future, and it seems that Valve already knows the improvement to be done.

Valve steam deck arrived in 2022 with a lot of hype and not too much availability. Those who quickly ordered in front of this device already have it for a while, but some customers are still waiting. Interview at Weekly Famitsu took place to celebrate the fact that Deck Steam is now finally available in Asia – not in stores, remember, but you can at least order it. Valve seems to want to solve the problem of availability, so that things may change for the better in the future.

Greg Coomer, a valve designer who participated in the interview, made everything quite clear. When asked if we can hope to see more Deck Steam versions in the future, Coomer answered, “Unless something big changes, there will be the next generation from the future steam deck products.” What exactly does that mean? Fortunately, we know a little fair.

Steam Deck 2 is not just a dream

Coomer explains that the steam deck is only an extension of the Valve core steam platform. Steam has many uses on various devices, and it seems that Valve wants to make sure its customers can play their favorite titles on any device that best suits them. In other places in the interview, this console is referred to as “the current steam deck,” further confirms what Coomer said.

Game/Hybrid Console Handheld PC, regardless of warm acceptance, has several problems that appear to be considered by Valve. The problems look like priority for the company going forward. One of the main problems is the battery life, which according to the valve itself (with many users) is unsatisfactory. For this reason, companies have made improvements, such as allowing users to play at a very low level of refresh (40Hz) to preserve the battery. Further repairs will be made, and some of them are likely to only be available in the next generation of steam decks.

Not only the battery life that Valve wants to handle in the future. The company tempts that the theme, shape, and size of the console may change in the future. What might be more interesting is that Valve might want to turn a steam deck into a streaming machine. How does it work? It is still too early, but it seems safe to start celebrating-the possibility of a second generation steam deck in the next few years.
