New steam controller expected to release alongside it. This also should push back estimates of when to expect a Steam Deck 2, since valve is probably putting most of their hardware efforts towards this instead.

Let it happen when it happens. If you hype it, you’ll just be disappointed when it doesn’t come out when you expect it to.
As someone still using Steam Controller on the daily, I’m most excited about Steam Controller 2. The original remains the best controller I have ever used.
I still have mine in it’s original box sealed. It’s my retirement plan.
Don’t know about their next console, but I’d love that new Steam Controller. Hop to it Valve!
Valve’s logo is pretty much the only one that makes me excited when I see it
Gabe please do mobile phone.
What if… Valve is the company GrapheneOS is trying to make a phone with.
Holy shit that would be amazing.
Dawg, sign me up - no cap.
Okay but I want it to be like an Xperia Play, with a full-on controller built into it somehow!
Steam N-Gage
I really, really wouldn’t trust this website. I found a glaring error in it, and then an even more glaring one in the article it links about the rumoured Valve standalone VR headset:
Curiously, this newer SoC features two fewer cores than the older ones (6 vs. 8) but architectural improvements will help plug this gap.
It’s not too surprising considering McVicker states it’ll run on an ARM-based CPU, much like Deck. With a lower power draw, this ought to keep battery life reasonable where a traditional x86 variant would drain it in minutes. The trade-off is that computational output isn’t quite on par with your usual desktop CPU, unless you’re talking about Apple’s M Series specifically.
I’m a simple man - I see AMD, I buy
It’s possible this could be for their upcoming VR headset, which had some standalone features
Hmmm… Not a fan. Any new box should have at least ML upscaling, ML ray reconstruction, and support for cooperative vectors. RDNA3 is PS5-level tech. Hope Valve picks either RDNA4 or UDNA for the gpu of whatever comes next
I agree, but I would buy this for my kids instantly.
yeah as of now this looks like a pretty weak showing.
