Don’t expect a new Steam Deck to drop each year.
Valve Steam Deck designer Lawrence Yang set some release timeline expectations in an interview with Reviews.org:
“We’re not going to do a bump every year. There’s no reason to do that. And, honestly, from our perspective, that’s kind of not really fair to your customers to come out with something so soon that’s only incrementally better. So we really do want to wait for a generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life before we ship the real second generation of Steam Deck.”
That checks out given we already knew a next-gen Steam Deck might not arrive before 2026.
