    Just so people don’t become blinded again, I’m gonna say this again.

    This does not rule out the possibility of a revision or another model of the Steam Deck with minor performance bumps or other changes/improvements.

    Prior to the OLED models announcement I have gotten a lot of “but Valve said no” responses whenever I said this. Now those people can shut up.

    Steam Deck was like the Switch. Steam Deck OLED is like the Switch OLED, essentially the same performance with a better screen and plays all the same games. Steam Deck 2 is going to be 2025 or 2026, and will be a big performance bump like Switch 2.

    Valve has never said they would not make a mid-generation refresh like consoles typically do. What they have said is that they are waiting until they can have a generational increase in performance for a true successor, and that’s still a while away. People kept misreporting what Valve said and interpreting that to mean no mid-generation refresh.
