Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 69540, member: 636"] Valve has confirmed that a next-generation Steam Deck remains in development but is not yet ready for release. Software engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais stated that the company seeks a significant performance improvement that justifies a new product, rather than a minor incremental upgrade. He explained that current system-on-chip offerings do not meet their requirements for a true next-generation handheld. The company is waiting for specific silicon and architectural advancements to achieve its performance targets. This development timeline suggests a potential release in the latter part of 2027. Such a launch could position the new Steam Deck to compete with a rumored PlayStation handheld, which is also speculated to be powered by AMD technology. [/QUOTE]
