Valve announced their 2026 hardware, no deck 2.

There's no a deck 2 coming anytime soon. Valve's new hardware focus is on the Steam Machine, VR and the controller for early next year.

It's a good entry level handheld, and a good value at $320 new. I sold my Deck LCD for a Deck OLED when they came out, and my handheld family is slowly multiplying with an ROG Ally Z1E and oncoming Konkr Pocket Fit. It's an addictive hobby.

If you get the Deck LCD, just be aware that the 256GB SSD really needs replaced if you're installing any modern games. 256GB can be completely used up with an installation of something like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Baldur's Gate 3. 100GB+ installations are really common for AAA games now, so make sure to check the storage requirements for games you intend on playing since that SSD is quite small. Fortunately, the upgrade process is very easy, and larger 512GB / 1TB / 2TB 2230 SSDs are readily available, but be aware that the upgrade process takes a little bit of technical know-how, with plenty of guides online for the process. Alternatively, you can expand storage with a quality MicroSD card, although this is quite a bit slower than storage on the NVMe, particularly when applying big patches to games. I recommend Samsung's MicroSD cards for reliability purposes. Avoid TeamGroup like the plague. SanDisk is a good alternative.

If you don't need the space, the Steam Deck is a great emulation platform. EmuDeck makes it easy to get going, and 256GB is plenty of space for emulation, or simpler games.

If you don't care about playing the latest AAA games then the Steam Deck is an amazing machine for any gamer. I can't recommend it enough.
