The Valve Steam Deck has been touted as being the product to change the way we see handheld gaming consoles and indeed, it has been immensely popular since launch. In fact, the console is so popular that Valve has alluded that it will be making a next-gen version of the Steam Deck in the future.
Recently, the Steam Deck has been made officially available in Asia for the first time, specifically in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. During an interview regarding the move to enter Asia, several Valve developers were invited to talk with Weekly Famitsu Magazine and they touched upon plans for the next-gen of the handheld.
Valve Product Designer Greg Coomer confirmed that “unless something major changes”, there will in fact be a next-gen Steam Deck in the future. Moreover, he elaborated that the theme, size and shape will change and that it may even “become a streaming machine”.
Coomer further asserted that the Steam Deck is an extension of Valve’s core Steam platform and that it is another PC in another form. Steam has many other uses besides this handheld device, such as on TV or on the desktop and Valve aims to continue to work to satisfy its customers as much as possible.
