HardAct Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 STEAM DECK 2 Wasn't expecting this already although maybe I should've! Apparently the top tier model of the {OG 649.99} Steam Deck 1 is the most popular according to preorders. Looks like I may be further back in line than I though. Might be getting mine right as Pre-orders for the SD2 go up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 If I read the deal correctly, you just had to put down $5 to pre-order, right? And you can pay the balance when it's your turn to buy? I believe I read that the $5 is even refundable if you cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I very much expected them to be working on new versions, the only question I have is if we'll see yearly releases like most PCs or if we'll see updates a bit off cadence with processor releases and get new Steam Decks more like every 18 or 24 months. Along with a spec boost, I wouldn't be surprised to see an updated deck get a VRR capable screen, and for some reason I expect Valve to mess with the controller layout, if only because they always seem to be.

silentbob Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 The only big complaint of the current deck is lack of an OLED display for me. My preorder is in for the 256gb unit but I do wish they had gone OLED like Nintendo has done. I better not get my system and see Vrs 2 announced with my OLED screen. That’s what happened a month or 2 after I bought my Oculus Quest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess it would be on a 2 year cadence since the SOC is semi custom (if I understood the specs correctly). So AMD will need to design a new chip with zen 3 or 4 cpus and rdna 3.
