Valve doesn't believe in annual hardware releases in the case of its popular handheld, the Steam Deck.
Don’t expect a Steam Deck 2 any time soon — or at least, not within the year. While Valve has confirmed that it’s working on an official follow-up to its popular handheld console, it’s against the idea of annual hardware releases.

And, honestly, from our perspective, that’s kind of not really fair to your customers to come out with something so soon that’s only incrementally better,” Yang said. He added that the team is waiting for a “generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life” before it launches a proper Steam Deck 2.
“We really want to be able to let you play your Steam games anywhere you want. Steam Deck has improved that significantly, but we don’t view it as a solved problem yet. We still think that there’s a lot of room for improvement,” Aldehayyat said.
