Now that we just had our refesh with a lot of improvements, what else are you guys looking forward to in the Steam Deck 2?
I’ll go first with :

  • Thunderbolt 5/equivalent whatever USB labelling, this should allow me to finally combining my laptop and pc with almost no penalty on using eGPUs when in dock mode.

  • VRR Oled screen for battery saving

  • Generation improvement on the SoC

  • Availability for more countries (Australia please lord Gaben)

    Electronic-ink labelled, backlit buttons, so the layout and glyphs are highly customizable (e.g. to Playstation, Nintendo layouts).

    RGB outline backlit.

    Ultra powerful and silent solid-state active cooling (AirJet® by Frore Systems).

    Aluminium alloy parts (sticks, shoulders and triggers).

    Hall-effect sticks and hall-effect adaptive triggers.

    New design for the enclosure, so an inserted microSD doesn’t get broken when opening it.

    New interface to connect the Deck with the dock.

    Back camera for AR gaming capabilities.

    Laser virtual keyboard, camera-IA-driven virtual mouse. All this means when docked, Steam Deck is already a desktop PC without the need for additional devices or hardware.

    Also, a pico projector integrated in the dock can emulate a big screen not only for gaming but for office stuff.

    Face camera for eye aiming on FPS games.

    VRR, 120 Hz OLED 8 inch screen.

    2 or 3 sd card slots.

    Integration with Alexa and Hey Google among other IAs, so we can dictate them some actions or vs gameplay.
