Valve has been pretty candid about its Steam deck plans (opens in new tab), especially for the device’s recent release in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong.The company even produced a neat little booklet (opens in new tab) Valve officially introduces itself in a new realm that isn’t a generic name (of a particular kind) and is full of tidbits and goodies about the development and future of the deck.
Well, that trend will continue. Weekly Famitsu interview (opens in new tab), Valve designer Greg Coomer let the company’s thoughts slide a bit when it comes to new Steam Decks.

It makes sense. In an interview, Coomer said that while he identified many areas of the Steam Deck that could be fixed, battery life was at the top of Valve’s list of things to improve. A deck that allows other machines to do the heavy lifting of rendering the game, whether it’s his own PC or a Valve server, would probably consume considerably less battery than the current version. prize. Such a device can cut down on what needs to be stuffed inside, potentially making it a bit smaller as well.
But if you hate streaming like I do, no worries. It’s hard to imagine that a hypothetical future streaming Steam deck would be the only option. Valve tends to talk about Steam Decks as a “category” of devices rather than a single, console-like machine that repeats every few years (although the current version will also improve) (opens in new tab)). So while the company might one day come out with a Steam Deck logo that streams and plays games, it probably comes with all sorts of other distinctive handheld PC game boxes, some of which We hope one of the will meet your needs.
Thank you, video game chronicles (opens in new tab).
