Last I heard was that the steam deck wasn’t getting a version 2 update until there was next gen hardware to match it. Gaben isn’t a big fan of regular sub five percent hardware refreshes that other companies are happy with.
Might be a name thing though. They did the OLED update, but it’s not called the steam deck 2.
If they want Steam Deck to be a legitimate platform to target for developers - which seems to be the case and which seems to be working - they practically need to make sure they’re not refreshing it every 2-3 years with a spec bump. I’d personally be very surprised if Valve releases the next generation Steam Deck before 2026.
You might be better off waiting for a steam deck 2, possibly out next year?

I can see a Steamdeck 2 happening, but definitely not a 3.
Steam Deck: Alyx
Imagine they pull a half-life on us and release a steam deck 2 decades later.
