<\/section>\n

Ever since the Steam Deck<\/a> originally launched back in 2022, handheld gaming PCs <\/a>have been blowing up in popularity. I\u2019d even go as far as to say that Valve\u2019s handheld has since been dethroned, with devices like the Lenovo Legion Go S<\/a> and ROG Ally X<\/a> greatly improving performance and display resolution. However, while there are more options than ever for Windows handheld gaming, there\u2019s still a ton of folks that swear by the Steam Deck, and they\u2019re not wrong. <\/p>\n

But given that the Steam Deck is now a three-year-old tech product, the time has come to look into the future and try to figure out what the next generation should look like. And while I\u2019m tempted to just say \u201ctoss in a more powerful chip and call it a day,\u201d it\u2019s a bit more complicated than that. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep the Price Low<\/h2>\n

Valve has a funny history with its hardware launches. While the Steam Deck was definitely a success, you don\u2019t have to look too far in the past to remember the colossal failure that was the Steam Machine. These gaming PCs running off of a primitive version of SteamOS were prohibitively expensive and almost immediately flopped. But it seems like Valve learned its lesson, with the original Steam Deck launching for a very <\/em>reasonable $399. <\/p>\n

But other handheld gaming PCs have definitely taken a different approach with pricing. For instance, the MSI Claw 8 AI+ will set you back a thousand bucks. You do get a very powerful Intel chip along with a gorgeous display, but at that price point it starts competing against much more powerful gaming laptops<\/a>. <\/p>\n

My hope is that whatever the next Steam Deck is, it keeps the price low, despite the success of much more expensive gaming handhelds. After all, it\u2019s going to be a device that funnels users straight into the Steam store, so Valve can afford to subsidize the cost of the hardware a bit. That\u2019s likely a big part of why the original Steam Deck was as affordable as it was. <\/p>\n

At the same time, a lot has changed in the last few years. Every type of computing hardware has gone up in price, and even the Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> is significantly more expensive than its predecessor. While it\u2019s possible that Valve eats whatever additional costs are added by factors like tariffs and inflation, it\u2019s more likely that the next Steam Deck is going to be at least a little bit more expensive than the original. By how much, I have no idea, but I hope it stays within the same general price range, even if it\u2019s a tad more expensive. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep the 800p Display<\/h2>\n

When dreaming about the next generation of a beloved product like the Steam Deck, it\u2019s super tempting to just say everything should be bigger and better. But the lower resolution display is a good thing, actually, and Valve should keep it that way for the Steam Deck 2. Hear me out. <\/p>\n

I remember when I first picked up the Lenovo Legion Go<\/a>, with its 1600p display, and being impressed by how the desktop looked. However, as soon as I booted up a game, I realized that 1600p is an unrealistic resolution to actually play at given the relatively weak performance offered by the Ryzen Z1 Extreme. After all, this is the same resolution as the most recent Razer Blade 16<\/a> \u2013 and that gaming laptop is powered by up to an RTX 5090<\/a>, which is leagues more powerful than the Go\u2019s little APU. <\/p>\n

What this led to was me having to either lower the display resolution to 800p anyways, or otherwise heavily tweak games to run well on the hardware. That\u2019s fine with me, I\u2019m going to mess with game settings no matter what, but part of the magic of the Steam Deck is that you don\u2019t really have to do that. The Deck\u2019s 800p resolution means that even though it\u2019s technically less powerful than the Lenovo Legion Go, some games run better at default settings because they\u2019re running at literally half the resolution. <\/p>\n

So no matter how much of a generational uplift Valve needs to justify making a second Steam Deck, it should keep the 800p resolution. After all, games aren\u2019t getting any less demanding over time, so a more powerful chip on the same display will make sure new games continue to run well on Valve\u2019s hardware. <\/p>\n

The Silly Little Haptic Pads Stay<\/h2>\n

Ever since the Steam Controller, Valve has been working little haptic trackpads into its controller design. And while I don\u2019t personally use them for anything beyond stimming, they\u2019re cool and should stay in the Steam Deck 2. <\/p>\n

The trackpads are ostensibly for games like Civilization that don\u2019t traditionally support controllers. And while developers have increasingly figured out how to make controller input work in this type of game, sometimes a trackpad just works better. Plus, I love the way that the Steam community comes together to create custom controller configurations for games, and having more input options only benefits that. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like other handheld manufacturers are rushing in to implement this in their products, either, so it keeps the Steam Deck special. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I Need a Second USB-C Port<\/h2>\n

Whenever I need to re-benchmark the Steam Deck, I have to go through the tedious process of installing Windows on the thing and then re-installing SteamOS when I\u2019m done. Not a big deal, just part of the job, but what makes it annoying is that every time I try to install SteamOS<\/a> it will fail if I plug the thumb drive into a USB hub. I don\u2019t know why that happens, but it does. That\u2019s not a problem for most recent handhelds, though, because they have multiple ports \u2013 the Steam Deck has just one.<\/p>\n

There is no reason that the Steam Deck can\u2019t have multiple USB ports, there\u2019s plenty of room on the chassis, especially on the bottom of the device. But instead, the sole port on the bottom of the Steam Deck is an unprotected MicroSD card reader. <\/p>\n

The simple solution would just be to add a second USB port on the bottom of the Steam Deck 2. Not only would this make the device easier to use with accessories, but it would make Steam Deck docks less of a nightmare to actually use. Imagine a Steam Deck dock that functions like the Switch dock. I want to live in that world. <\/p>\n

The further we get from the original Steam Deck\u2019s release the more I realize that it was basically a perfect device. While it does have its limitations, I mostly just want a spec bump out of its followup. Although, realistically, Valve is probably going to come up with all kinds of improvements over its first-gen handheld. I just hope they don\u2019t dilute the magic that finally made PC gaming handhelds a mainstream phenomenon. <\/p>\n
