Valve confirms Steam Deck 2 development is at full pace, but wont say anything else

Valve has just dropped another confirmation that the Steam Deck 2 is on the way. But that’s really all that the company is willing to reveal.

In a recent interview with IGN, Valve confirmed that development on the next-gen handheld console is progressing at full pace. However, it seems like they still aren’t ready to show anything, as the successor to the Steam Deck remains tightly under wraps.

Why there’s no Steam Deck 2… yet

Steam Deck 2 being in active development isn’t surprising. Valve has already revealed that it had plans for a next-gen model a while ago, but the company was against the idea of annual hardware releases. Just like with its games (Half-Life 3), Valve doesn’t want to make a sequel till there’s some “generational leap“.
