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 to make specific games more playable, by rendering text and stuff like that at higher resolution (while the rest of the game could keep targeting lower resolutions and get upscaled)

As described in more detail here; https://infosec.pub/comment/17743689

There is a zoom function. Haven't tried it myself yet as I haven't had the need yet. But there is on the deck.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 1 points 2 weeks ago

I have good eyes, the zoom won't help me because it doesn't add pixels to the frame (maybe unless you're downsampling?). I want more physical pixels, and then higher resolution text to make use of it!
