In the months following the Steam Deck’s launch, demand for the handheld gaming PC drastically outperformed Valve’s expectations. In response, the company has now revealed that it’s definitely thinking about creating a successor to the original Steam Deck.
Yesterday, Valve released a 50-page booklet about the Steam Deck. As pointed out by @Wario64, in a section of the booklet titled “The Future: more Steam Decks, more SteamOS,” Valve reveals its plans to support the Steam Deck for years through both new hardware and software versions.
“In the future, Valve will follow up on this product with improvements and iterations to hardware and software, bringing new versions of Steam Deck to market,” the booklet reads.
