Valve's Steam Deck designers say that rather than boosting performance, they'd rather upgrade the screen and battery life when the successor arrives. Many software updates have addressed some issues, but there is still room for improvement. Steam Deck is popular for its amazing performance, intuitive user interface, and infinitely customizable controls.
This will help the handheld better keep up with competitors by improving its performance. One obvious upgrade for Steam Deck 2 is to replace its existing custom APU with the best gaming CPUs in the AMD Ryzen 6000 or 7000 series that Valve has at its disposal. So, we could see a premium version of Steam Deck 2 that exceeds the existing $649 cap. Because customers say, "We want a more expensive version, in terms of horsepower capability or whatever," he said. Newell shared in an interview that "the most popular SKUs are the most expensive" for Steam Deck. The MSRP for the base model of Steam Deck hits $399, so Steam Deck 2 will likely cost even more, especially given the continued price hikes for the materials needed to make PC components. These factors could drive up the price of Steam Deck 2. Now we don't know the exact type of improvements, hardware, extra features, or specs that Value will add to Steam Deck 2, so it's hard to predict the exact price of Steam Deck 2.
Considering the Steam Deck release date is February 25, 2022, so we shouldn't expect a Steam Deck 2 release date anytime soon.
The price is $89/€99 and is also available today.First, when will Steam Deck 2 come out? I believe this is a question that most players care about. Valve also launched the Docking Station where the Steam Deck can link to two external displays, can also be used for charging, or to connect to multiple other Valve devices. Users who purchase the latter two variants will have to wait for shipping between 1-2 weeks, while the most affordable variant will be up for orders later this year. €549 gets you one with 256 GB SSD and some Steam Community goodies, while the 512 GB model has the “fastest storage” and anti-glare etched glass, an exclusive carrying case and a virtual keyboard theme. The cheapest Steam Deck is €419 and has just 64 GB eMMC storage. Of course, the maker also reserved the right to return back to reservations if demand is too high, because “production, processing, and shipping bandwidth is still finite”. The company revealed in a post that it has been struggling with supply chain issues and component shortages, but after hard work from Valve, the ever-increasing reservation rate has been beaten. This means the Steam Deck is available for purchase straight away. After several months of issuing batches to Steam users who preordered the device, the company finally announced the reservation queue is done. Valve launched the Steam Deck over 12 months ago, but just in February, it started shipping the handheld gaming PC to those that reserved.
