- The Steam Deck’s developers say that a Steam Deck 2 may not come until 2025 or later.

When it comes to new gaming hardware, companies like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo tend to be pretty secretive until it’s near time for launch. That’s not the case with Valve, however. The Steam Deck’s developers have not been afraid to talk about a Steam Deck 2 and their plans for the handheld. Now we’re getting news that the system may be years away.
In an interview with The Verge, Steam Deck developer, Pierre-Loup Griffais, discussed when he thinks a Steam Deck 2 could arrive. According to the developer, that day may not come until late 2025 or beyond.
