I’ve had my eye on the Steam Deck for a while now, but I’m torn on whether I should buy it now or hold off for a potential Deck 2. I know there are no official announcements about a new version coming out, but I’m concerned that if I get the current one, I might miss out on better technology later. What do you think? Should I wait, or is it worth getting the Deck now?

There’s no official word on a Steam Deck 2 yet, and credible rumors are scarce. Valve has mentioned wanting to wait until the technology can support a major upgrade, which might be a couple of years down the line. If you’re itching to play games that are known to perform well on the current Deck, I say go for it! Who knows how long you might end up waiting otherwise? Just ensure you can afford an upgrade later if that’s what you’re considering.
Honestly, I think waiting for Deck 2 isn’t necessary. The current Steam Deck is already amazing for gaming on the go. Just check out some gameplay videos of the titles you’re interested in to see their performance on the Deck. That should help you make a decision!
Totally agree! Seeing how your favorite games run can really make the difference in your choice.
Exactly! If you’ve got games in mind that you’re ready to play now, the current Deck is an awesome choice. Plus, it can take a while for new tech to actually drop.
