Don't think they are lying about the denial, they said they wanted the upgrade to be big and the z2 is marginally better than what the Steam Deck already has. I would guess a Steam Deck 2 is years away, but we might get a Steam Home Console, or maybe the Deckard VR headset. I kinda doubt any of those would run a z2 though. Why would Valve be using an off the shelf chip when they had a custom chip last time?
Yeah, I don't think it's a full steamdeck 2, I think it would be more like the oled upgrade. Slightly better performance and battery life. I think valve is going to lean into the cellphone model of smaller upgrades every year, with an eventual phase out of old hardware after 5 years or so.
