While Valve has just launched the Steam Deck OLED, we also learn that the brand wants to launch the Steam Deck 2 within two to three years.

Valve has just launched a refreshed model of the Steam Deck, featuring an Oled screen, a new APU, a larger battery and many other new features. We might have shouted Steam Deck 2, except that we learned at the same time that Gabe Newell’s firm is already seriously working on the idea of a Steam Deck 2.
The information is official since it comes from a statement by Steam Deck product designer Lawrence Yang in the columns of Bloomberg.
“We are very invested in the Steam Deck”
For the moment of course, Lawrence Yang cannot reveal many more details. He even specifies that a priori, the teams have until now been working on the Oled model and that they will therefore soon begin working on the development of Steam Deck 2.
He still distils some small details, such as the fact that the Steam Deck 2 will be equipped with a “‘next generation’ power upgrade”.
More importantly for those who hesitate to acquire the first Steam Deck, in Oled or LCD, or even one of its competitors like the ROG Ally from Asus, we now have a clear timetable. Steam Deck 2 will not be available until “ at least two or three years ”, we read. This will take us to 2025 or 2026, or even, since we are at the end of the year, to 2027.
As pointed out Bloombergquite rightly, it is appreciable to see that Valve has learned from its past mistakes and is now promising a real long-term commitment to its hardware products. The firm was until now known for its games and especially its online video game sales store, but also for some forays into hardware that were not always very well managed. The Steam Deck was an exception, even boosting the portable console market.
Proof of Valve’s commitment, this statement from Lawrence Yang: “Many people within the company are excited regarding this product” said Mr. Yang.“We are very invested in the Steam Deck. »And so, we understand, soon in Steam Deck 2.
