It took me through the five stages of grief to come to the acceptance of this headline.
Not to say that Valve isnt thinking about it.
Its kind of clear from Griffais answers (more on those later) that some talks have started.
After this, Griffais made it clear on Bluesky that there is and will be no Z2 Steam Deck.
However, when the post was deleted, this caused some further bamboozlement.
We want to see bigger performance and power efficiency improvements within that 8-15 watt power envelope.
What does that mean?
But with these relationships, how does the Steam Deck fit into this ever-growing tapestry of SteamOS?
For example, some handhelds prioritize performance at the sacrifice of battery life, and others favor accessibility.
Were happy to slot in alongside them and offer consumers more choice.
But when the time comes, will there even be a slot for them to fill in?
Or could it be counterproductive to add another option onto the pile?
Let me be clear while that sounds defeatist, this is a good problem to have.
So the company could find itself in a work smarter, not harder kind of situation.
Im not so sure.
But by this point, ultraportable gaming will have moved forward a whole new generation.
Another CES will come and go, and well probably be talking about Ryzen Z3 and Z3 Extreme chips!
So yes, Id be upset if we dont get a second Steam Deck, but not heartbroken.
