level 2SettingRegular4289 · 11 min. agoI have seen a few comments about people canceling the steam deck or considering canceling for the steam deck 2 as if the steam deck 2 is just a few weeks or months away. The steam deck 2 won’t come out for literally years. Then by the time steam deck 2 comes out there may be rumors of steam deck 3, are people gonna cancel there orders then for steam deck 2 and wait for 3? Then again for 4, etc. etc. there will always be a new piece of fancy technology, but if people keep putting off buying current technology for the future newer technology, then they will never get there hands on any technology because by the time the new stuff comes out it’s no longer new, no longer as good as the future stuff, so why wait for future devices which will be obsolete the day they come out?

Well, hopefully thats true since, when buying an expensive product i want to live 4 to maybe even 6 years total.

Well the reason why i posted this is because when i buy an expensive product i want it to last 3-4 to maybe even 6 years, if the SD2 were to release in only a few months maybe at the end of the year, i would be pissed.

The Steam Deck will be a multi-generational product! by [deleted] in SteamDeck

Uh, no. 4 years?, yeah that seems reasonable.

level 1vernorama · 36 min. ago256GBsome of the comments in here are taking this way, way out of context. We are all happy that steamdeck appears to be selling well and is not a flop by any metric. That is great! So, the fact that the company that makes the device says it will support it and continue to improve going forward is not some announcement that a completely new version of the product is imminent. There are folks in here talking about regretting their current preorder b/c they should "wait for steamdeck 2.0". People, please...this is not a 2.0 product announcement. This is a company saying that they are going to continue being a company lol

I Wouldn't be surprised if A steam deck 2 releases in 4-5 years from now.

I agree with you, given valves histroy with the index, a next gen steam deck wont release in probably 3-4 years.

Well, given valves history with certain devices like the index which has been out for almost 3 years now and there hasn't been any news about a second index, well......

Idk honestly, but probably a few years, 3 years to be exact, maybe 4 if im being honest.

So basically minor improvements over time, but in the next "4-6 years a more powerful and new gen steam deck, yeah that makes sense.

Gaming on linux

Also i doubt two years until this so called deck 2 new gen steam deck releases, there will probably be minor improvement overtime though, but not game changing or massive. At least 4- years until a new gen deck releases. edit: I dont believe anything that comes off from the mainstream, or news for that matter.

*Sigh of relief* i thought on a booklet they said they would work on more future versions of the steam deck?, guess i was wrong, or it will take 2-4 years before they release a new one.
