You don’t need to worry about the Steam Deck being replaced by a better model as soon as you buy one, according to the handheld PC’s creator. Valve says it won’t be releasing yearly hardware updates, instead waiting until it can deliver a true technological leap forward before launching the next version of the Steam Deck.
“We are not doing the yearly cadence," Valve designer Lawrence Yang gold Reviews.org. "We're not going to do a bump every year. There's no reason to do that. And, honestly, from our perspective, that's not really fair to your customers to come out with something so soon that's only incrementally better.”
