New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought (www.pcguide.com)

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.

Just upgraded the internal storage to 2tb.

I’m happy with my SD as is.

I love my Steam Deck OLED and would only really consider an upgrade for things that improve the experience or reliability. Being able to run low and medium-graphics games locally and stream everything else from my PC with Remote Play is awesome.

I’d only want things like:

Hall effect or TMR sticks and triggers
Better battery life(but honestly it’s already great)
1080p, but not at the cost of horsepower or battery
More CPU and GPU power is never a bad thing but I wouldn’t want it at the cost of battery
Cooler and quieter(it gets warm and loud on Forza 5, TABS, Helldivers 2, etc)
Thunderbolt with external GPU support on the dock
More storage is always a good thing and 2230 SSDs pretty much top out at 2TB
The Bluetooth is laggy but I dunno, Bluetooth just kinda always sucks

and bloody hell Valve put the god damn xone driver in your SteamOS so I can use my Xbox wireless receiver without installing the driver after every update

So basically when the hardware gets better and cheaper, like AAA games on medium 120fps stable, additionally it would use MicroSDexpress cards. Oh, and HDR and dynamic framerate on OLED (both at the same time) needs to be developed for small screens.
