New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought (www.pcguide.com)

Source is KeplerL2, who is generally considered a reliable source for insider hardware info, particularly on AMD GPU hardware and AMD SoC for consoles.

Previously I would have personally estimated Steam Deck 2 to release mid 2026-early 2027, but the recent info about an upcoming Steam Machine made me think that maybe I should push back that estimate.

Of course even if we assume this is reliable insider info, a lot can change in couple years, so things can definitely change.

I want a higher resolution screen, for readability. Games don't need to use a higher resolution in general and can keep targeting something like 720p, but I want text and more to be crisper, etc

Fair point. Games clearly need to start decoupling the UI scale/resolution from the general screen resolution.

In a somewhat parallel issue, I've found that playing games on the couch (usually with Steam in-home streaming, from a PC elsewhere in the house) I have to reduce the resolution because the game's UI is far too small at TV-watching differences.
