Valve has already said that it will be a few years before we see the Steam Deck 2, but we're already speculating on a possible release date, specs, and more.
It’s a matter of when we’ll see the Steam Deck 2, not if we’ll see it. Valve has talked publicly multiple times about its plans for a next-gen Steam Deck , which shouldn’t come as a surprise given that the original is easily the best handheld gaming PC you can buy.
Adding on to that, Valve’s Lawrence Yang told Rock Paper Shotgun that “a true next-gen Deck with a significant bump in horsepower wouldn’t be for a few years.” Valve learned this lesson, too. In speaking to Edge magazine, Newall said: “We thought the entry price was going to be the critical factor , but it turns out that far and away the most popular SKU is the most expensive one. That’s an example of us being a little surprised by what our customers are telling us … it helps frame our thinking for Steam Deck 2.”
Steam Deck 2: specs At this point, it’s hard to say what the specs of the Steam Deck 2 will be. There’s a good chance Valve itself doesn’t know yet. Rumors point to an updated Steam Deck using another custom APU from AMD, similar to the original version. Online speculation says this chip will use AMD’s RDNA 4 graphics architecture — an as of yet unreleased GPU architecture that will power next-gen AMD desktop GPUs — and the Zen 4 CPU architecture.
Steam Deck 2: performance Without any solid specs to go on, it’s a fool’s errand trying to try and nail down how the Steam Deck 2 will perform. I’m confident in saying it will be significantly faster than the original Steam Deck. That’s because Valve has gone on the record saying that’s a target for Steam Deck 2.
