Watch SadlyItsBradley and TylerMcVicker on YouTube, these are the guys who actually datamine SteamVR and SteamOS for themselves. They're both saying Steam Deck 2 is not currently in development. Valve's current thing is more likely a console-like machine running slightly more powerful hardware, plus Valve's upcoming VR headset. A prototype of this console actually showed up in the background of "The Final Hours of Half Life: Alyx".

I would buy a tv console from steam.

They tried it before with the Steam Machine but it never really took off. I'd love if they made a second attempt with all they've learned from the Deck though

Yeah last time it was now fully properly made. They also didn’t have standard controllers and games were not following with their controller support. Now that the deck is here and games are supporting it you can just make a controller version and sell a small computer for the TV with a deck controller.

I'm so confused by what you mean here

GeneralVincent 7 points 3 years ago

Inside out tracking meaning the type of pose tracking, similar to oculus quest 2

Stand-alone meaning not relying on a PC or PS5 like the oculus quest 2

Steam VR meaning compatible with steam vr

Very interested to know what Valve are aiming for with the Steam Deck console, in terms of specs. All the APUs except for the consoles are very light in terms of graphics power. Do we have a rough idea where the Sephiroth APU is going to land?

People are going to have way, way bigger expectations for a console running on their 4k HDR TV than the Steam Deck on the washed out 8 inch.

Tyler McVicker talks about this in one of his more recent videos, from the last week or so. IIRC, the hardware is nearly identical to Steam Deck, but slightly faster so it can handle higher resolutions.

I'm hopeful they'll release a new Steam Controller sooner rather than later. I didn't get the original, but if they make one based on the Deck's controls, I'd be buying one.

I have the original, it's quite nice to use, but not having a second stick does hamper it. The Steam Deck controls look perfect.

I've been holding off from getting into VR since there are no trustworthy manufacturers other than Valve, and I would REALLY like to have a wireless headset. Hopefully it finally happens!

If the changes are mainly on hardware, it's possible it won't shown in the OS software. Unless SteamOS has kernel level configuration for steam deck, I think the configuration will be on steam app

ColeSloth 1 point 3 years ago

That would be my guess as well. I doubt Valve would have a new steam deck until summer 2025. I imagine a bigger battery that isn't glued so hard in place and of course a new amd apu and ddr5 ram, along with probably a 1080p screen.

What does "nigh" mean here?

Is this going to be announced in the next couple of months, or next couple of years?

So are we safely in get excited territory or still in ignore until announced territory?

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The mystery “Valve 1030” that went through South Korea’s National Radio Research Agency has now been definitively identified as a Steam Deck, and it’s our first proof the hardware’s potentially close enough to release to justify showing it to regulators.

Quectel filed for a Class II Permission Change to simply allow its certified Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth chip, the FC66E, to retroactively work in a new Steam Deck, too.

It’s a clever technique — as you can see in the document above, Valve’s supplier is able to argue that the new Steam Deck has a weaker antenna, so its radio emissions don’t need to be retested.

Valve can hide whatever new features it likes behind the Wi-Fi chip certification because these agencies only tend to regulate radio emissions, not other specs.

I have to admit it could simply be an existing Steam Deck with a refreshed radio chip if its previous supplier, Realtek, ran out.

Lynch continues to find code snippets that suggest a wireless PC VR headset is also on the way — I wouldn’t be surprised if Valve announces both items simultaneously.

Didn't valve literally just say that were at least a few years out from a refresh?

They said we were at least a few years out from a performance upgrade, but a refresh could involve other things like nicer screen, battery, hall effect joysticks, etc. So they could still preserve the same performance target and still release a premium version in the meantime.
