Overview

• Hardware leaker KeplerL2 posted on NeoGAF that “Steam Deck 2 is 2028,” offering no further detail.
• Media reports emphasize the claim is unverified and note Valve has not confirmed that a successor is in development.
• Valve’s Lawrence Yang previously framed the OLED model as the definitive first generation and said a true next-gen would require a multi-year wait.
• At CES, Pierre‑Loup Griffais said Valve was not working on new hardware before 2026, which loosely aligns with a later window.
• Coverage suggests the timing chatter may track AMD APU roadmaps rather than inside Valve information, as rivals like ROG Ally and Legion Go S launch while Valve continues updating current Decks.
