<\/section>\n

It\u2019s no secret that Valve is \u201chard at work\u201d on Steam Deck 2 \u2013 its devs have said as much every time<\/u><\/a> I\u2019ve asked<\/u><\/a> that question<\/u><\/a> over the last several years, and their plans for a sequel have been clear from the start<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The crux of the message has always been that Valve is waiting for the proper technology in order to present a true \u201cgenerational leap\u201d in performance. The unspoken part of that, of course, is that Valve is waiting for not just the right level of performance, but the correct performance to price ratio that would make Steam Deck 2 a viable product.<\/p>\n

In the time since the Steam Deck originally launched, a number of other, more powerful handheld gaming PCs<\/u><\/a> have come to market \u2013 all at moderate to significantly higher prices. In other words, the performance might be there now, but the price isn\u2019t. <\/p>\n

It might be a worry, then, that the RAM crisis that has driven up hardware prices \u2013 everything from graphics cards<\/u><\/a> to gaming<\/u><\/a> consoles<\/u><\/a> to the Steam Deck itself<\/u><\/a> \u2013 would impact Valve\u2019s plans for a device so sensitive to component costs like the Steam Deck 2. <\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Thankfully, Valve says its plans haven\u2019t changed. My colleague Jackie recently sat down with Valve<\/u><\/a> software developers Pierre-Loup Griffais and Jeff Leinbaugh, and they had a reassuring answer to her question about whether the ongoing RAM shortage has impacted Valve\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot really,\u201d said Griffais. \u201cWe’ve talked before about how we want to make sure there’s a very delineated performance improvement for something like a future Steam Deck, and I think we’re still looking at it in the same way. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s just a matter of looking at the current conditions and seeing how and when we can deliver something like that. But from what we’re working on, as far as the user experience goes and what the product that we’re trying to build goes, it’s very similar goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

To me, that sounds like Valve\u2019s target hasn\u2019t changed, but the timeline might have. As I said before, it\u2019s all about finding the right price to performance ratio where a new Steam Deck would make sense. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Steam Machine<\/u><\/a> and Steam Frame<\/u><\/a> have shown that Valve isn\u2019t afraid of simply passing higher component prices along to the consumer. But given that Steam Deck demand has reportedly cratered<\/u><\/a> due to its ballooned price, up to $789 for the 512GB OLED model that previously cost $549, I have to assume that Valve is in no hurry to push out an overpriced Steam Deck 2.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, there\u2019s no shortage of Valve hardware on the market, as the company\u2019s 2026 slate of devices are finally all out in the wild. For more on that, be sure to check out our review of the Steam Frame<\/u><\/a>, as well as why there\u2019s no new Half-Life game<\/u><\/a>. <\/p>\n
