Valve Delays Release of Next-Generation Steam Deck for Performance Improvements

Valve Reveals Plans for Future Steam Deck Console Release

Valve, the renowned game developer, has announced its intention to launch a new and improved version of its portable game console, Steam Deck. However, it seems that eager gamers will have to wait a bit longer for the anticipated release.

According to IT media The Verge, Valve developer Pierre Loup Griffais stated that they are aiming to enhance the console’s performance without compromising its battery life. As a result, fans can expect the next iteration of Steam Deck to hit the market no earlier than the end of 2025.

This is not the first time Pierre has touched upon this topic. In a previous interview with CNBC, he shared that the company has set the next generation Steam Deck as a long-term goal. It appears that this goal may take more time than initially anticipated.

Currently, the Steam Deck allows users to enjoy the latest PC games. However, it faces some difficulties when it comes to running particularly demanding titles, such as ‘The Last of Us Part 1’.

In contrast, other console manufacturers have been releasing updates that feature smaller, lighter, and more energy-efficient versions of their hardware. Nintendo, for instance, has improved their battery life and screen quality with each iteration. Therefore, it is plausible to assume that Valve might follow suit and release the next generation Steam Deck with a focus on screen enhancement while maintaining its performance capabilities.

Gamers will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting any further updates from Valve regarding the future of the highly anticipated Steam Deck console.

[디지털투데이 AI리포터] Valve announced its intention to release the portable game console Steam Deck 2. However, it has been mentioned that a portable game console with faster performance will not be released in the near future.

According to IT media The Verge on the 22nd, Valve developer Pierre Loup Griffais said, “We hope to improve performance without significantly affecting battery life, so the next version of SteamDeck should be released at least at the end of 2025.” “It will appear,” he said.

Pierre previously talked about the same topic in an interview with economic media outlet CNBC. He said, “We will set the next generation Steam Deck as a fixed goal for the next few years,” and these few years are predicted to take longer than expected.

Currently, it is possible to play the latest PC games using Steam Deck. However, with the advent of newer games with higher requirements, such as ‘The Last of Us Part 1’, it is becoming more and more difficult.

Other console manufacturers have been releasing smaller, lighter and more energy-efficient versions of the same hardware. For example, Nintendo improved the battery once and the screen another time. Therefore, it is believed that Valve could also release the next generation Steam Deck by changing only the screen without changing performance.
