Valve developer Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve is "hard at work" on a new Steam Deck, according to an Android Authority report published on the day of the update. Griffais said the company is focusing on performance improvements that will not sacrifice battery life.
The report did not include a launch date, hardware specifications, pricing, or a product name beyond describing it as a new Steam Deck. Android Authority said Valve provided the update while also confirming the price and release date of the Steam Controller.
The update indicates Valve is continuing development of a next Steam Deck rather than announcing a release. In the handheld gaming device market, battery life remains a key constraint alongside performance, and Valve's stated focus suggests it is trying to improve both at the same time.
