You'll Have To Wait At Least Two Years For A Faster Steam Deck

I dont want faster, I just want a bezeless oled in the same body.

Oh is this the third iteration already?

I think regardless of timeline, Valve accomplished what they wanted which was higher adoption of PC gaming through handheld gaming. There’s been an explosion of PC handhelds in the market after their release and they’re the main storefront for it (even if it’s running windows). Their big picture mode worked extremely well with my Ally. Even though I initially bought the device as an extension for my Xbox with GamePass, I’ve found myself buying a bunch of games on Steam.

Good. I hope it is longer than that. Fragmenting the platform will do no one any good at this stage in its life, and its performance is completely adequate for what it is.

Oh no.

Anyway.

Given that I just bought one and am waiting for it to arrive in the bloody mail. I think that's fine.

Also, I'm okay with playing less intensive titles regardless. If I wanted to be immersed with high fidelity stuff I'd use my gaming PC. I also chose the Deck over the Ally and Legion Go due to software integration and hardware repair options.

That's fine, the steam deck is already fast enough as is. What I'm mostly interested in is a next gen steam controller for docked Gameplay. One with the same controls as the deck (Dual Analog) and also has USB-C, also since it would be more easily available than the Old Steam Deck controllers which you can only buy used and in ever increasing scarcity.

[slightly off-topic] surprisingly forthright, why can’t we get info like this in respect to the index? i would LOVE to finally get into VR but i’m certainly not paying full price for a piece of 5 year old tech in an industry that has moved as fast as VR has
