Valve striving to keep up with the demand for Steam Deck indicates that the handheld gaming PC is a hit among gamers. It is then not a surprise that the company already plans to release more iterations of the hardware in the future.
The company released a Steam Deck booklet as part of the handheld gaming PC’s launch in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The last section of the booklet (via GamingOnLinux) is titled “The Future: more Steam Decks, more SteamOS”, which clearly indicates Valve plans to release more gaming hardware in the years to come.
“Steam Deck represents the first in a new category of Steam handheld gaming PCs,” Valve says in the booklet. The company adds it will release new generations of the Steam Deck in the future.
Valve revealed huge plans to improve SteamOS in the same document that would benefit devices running on other platforms.
SteamOS, the operating system that powers Steam Deck, is based on Linux. But the handheld gaming PC is able to run Windows PC games through the compatibility layer Proton. Valve now says this development “will be inherited” by other platforms like ChromeOS that will allow Chromebooks to support Steam.
“This is a multi-generational product line,” the company added. “Valve will support Steam Deck and SteamOS well into the foreseeable future.” The Steam Deck booklet is available in English, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese languages and can be downloaded through Steam.
Before launching in select regions in Asia, the Steam Deck had been shipped to the United States, Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom. Valve is expected to bring the device to more markets, but PC gamers will have to wait for further updates.
The Steam Deck’s availability remains limited due to the ongoing supply chain constraints and the demand for the handheld gaming PC. It appears, however, that the company is able to ship orders faster than it estimated, suggesting that Valve’s supply chain and logistics are starting to pick up.
