I’m not sure about that. Index fans are still waiting for the sequel to their hardware.

I wonder if Gabe/Valve is content with the OLED model as is and doesn’t find a reason to make another so soon.

God, if this ends up with the steam deck 2 powering a standalone index 2 with redesigned knuckles 2 that can be used standalone as a Steam Controller 2...

It's a fantasy, absolutely. The controller part especially probably wouldn't work. But... I can dream.

Is this... is this the mythical PC 2?

No, that was IBM, not valve.

If they want to keep the Deck's reputation of being able to run "most" PC games, they'll have to make a new model sooner rather than later. I'm guessing they're waiting for AMDs beefier RDNA 3.5 iGPUs. Pair that with more and faster memory and they should be good to go.
