Steam Deck 2: Released by 2026?
Valve released the Steam Deck OLED in 2023, but a true performance successor is highly anticipated. This prediction asks if the 'Steam Deck 2' will launch before the end of 2026.
Waiting for the Chip
The vote is evenly split. Valve has stated they are waiting for a 'generational leap' in battery and APU technology before releasing a sequel, not just a small bump. While AMD's roadmap suggests suitable chips (Zen 5/RDNA 4) might be ready, Valve's slow product cycle might push the release into 2027. However, pressure from more powerful competitors (ROG Ally X, Lenovo Legion) might force an earlier timeline.
