Source is KeplerL2, who is generally considered a reliable source for insider hardware info, particularly on AMD GPU hardware and AMD SoC for consoles.
Previously I would have personally estimated Steam Deck 2 to release mid 2026-early 2027, but the recent info about an upcoming Steam Machine made me think that maybe I should push back that estimate.
Of course even if we assume this is reliable insider info, a lot can change in couple years, so things can definitely change.
I already have a beefy gaming PC and would much rather get an updated steam deck, that sucks
Yeah despite being an enthusiast for years my appetite for PC gaming hardware BS is running out and I’d love a really good dockable handheld to daily drive as my main PC.
