""Obviously, the Steam Deck's not our focus today, but the same things we've said in the past where we're really interested to work on what's next for Steam Deck," Griffais explained. "The thing we're making sure of is that it's a worthwhile enough performance upgrade to make sense as a standalone product.""
""We're not interested in getting to a point where it's 20 or 30 or even 50% more performance at the same battery life," Griffais continued. "We want something a little bit more demarcated than that. So we've been working back from silicon advancements and architectural improvements, and I think we have a pretty good idea of what the next version of Steam Deck is going to be, but right now there's no offerings in that landscape, in the SoC landscape, that we think would truly be a next-gen performance Steam Deck.""
An updated Steam Deck will arrive only when system-on-chip and architectural improvements enable a substantial performance leap rather than minor percentage gains or only better battery life. The priority is a clear next-generation handheld that justifies being a standalone successor. Current SoC offerings do not meet the required performance and efficiency targets to achieve that goal. Development planning is being guided by anticipated silicon and architectural advancements, with the successor's design contingent on future improvements in the SoC landscape. No announcement was made because available silicon does not satisfy the targeted next-gen performance criteria.
