When asked about the next handheld PC, Griffeys said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been working hard on it, and obviously every step of the way, if you look at our hardware projects over the years, you can draw a straight line from the original Steam Controller and Steam Machine, to the Steam Deck, to everything we&#8217;re announcing and shipping this year. And we expect Steam Deck 2 to be much the same, where there will be a lot of learning from what we&#8217;re doing here.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In 2023, Gryfas confirmed that there will be Steam Deck 2. However, he also said that the day of the next generation Steam Deck may not come for a few years. At the time, the developer suggested that Valve would be interested in releasing Steam Deck 2 when there was a significant enough improvement in performance that would not come at the expense of battery life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Unfortunately, it looks like Griffis is still unwilling to give a specific date for when the next-gen Steam Deck might arrive. However, it appears that the company intends to release a new handheld PC. Hopefully, it won&#8217;t take long for Valve to find the right balance of battery life and high performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is proving to be a busy day for Valve News.
