Steam Deck handheld plans to have 2 generations, more expensive and more powerful

Recently, V agency co-founder G fat revealed in an interview with Edge magazine that the company's most expensive Steam Deck version, priced at $649.99, has 512gb of NVMe memory and an anti-glare etched glass screen. The most popular version so far. That's a surprise for Valve 's first foray into portable gaming PCs, as Valve sees price as a "key factor" to its success, but for Steam Deck 2, price is certainly a consideration.

Fat G told Edge: "It's an example, we're a little surprised by what our customers are telling us. They're basically saying, 'We want a more expensive version,' in terms of horsepower performance or whatever. You know, that's why we always like to launch and sell new items. Because we can learn a lot from it, and it also helps us think about Steam Deck 2."

Fat G said he hoped other Companies can also get in on the action, taking advantage of software support created by Valve to compete with Steam Deck. He also hinted that the company is interested in expanding the Steam Deck gaming experience beyond just replicating the portable experience of PC games.
