  • Steam Deck designers Lawrence Yang and Pierre-Loup Griffais took part in an interview to reveal what’s in store for the handheld gaming PC.
  • The designers confirmed there are plans for a next-gen Steam Deck, but a “Pro” model is unlikely, for now.
  • The two also say the Steam Deck may never be “stable” like a traditional console, Valve wants to make another Steam controller, and more.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been nearly 11 months since the Steam Deck was released. Although the impressive handheld gaming PC isn’t that old yet, many have wondered if the system would get a next-gen follow-up. We now have the answer to that and a few other questions.

Steam Deck designers Lawrence Yang and Pierre-Loup Griffais participated in an interview with The Verge. During the interview, the designers confirmed that there will be a Steam Deck 2, describing the handheld as a “multi-generational product.”
