Think about it, only SteamOS 3.5 and above have HDR support and some features like the unified framerate limit the Steam Deck OLED is rocking.

Valve wouldn’t release this new console without having those features shipped to stable.

    Valve very much WOULD support and upgrade an unsuccessful product. Just look at the Steam Controller and Steam Link. Both products are still supported, and went through a number of small production interactions. Neither were successful by any stretch of the imagination.

    Good guy Gaben.

      a number of small production interactions.

      You probably mean improvements. Can you give some examples? I’m curious.

      I think that, now that Valve has it’s own ecosystem, the steam controller would make much more success if re-released

      Steam controller and steam link weren’t unsuccessful though lol. Thanks to the steam controller we now have steam input, and thanks to the link we now have steam streaming. You could also argue that we can thank the SC for the Deck existing at all. Success isn’t just number of units shipped (and even if it was the SC still sold very well compared to any other third party controller)
