A few more points from the (referenced) CNBC video: https://twitter.com/StreetSignsCNBC/status/1704971310361629080
- Would like work with other hardware manufacturers to adopt SteamOS
- Happy to see other manufacturers participating, making different decisions
- Right now no Steam Deck VR headset, but explore more in the future
- Keep working on the current SteamOS, version 3.5, hardware side focusing on the supply chain
- Current iteration is a stable performance target, sweet spot for the new releases
Maybe it is because I've used low end computers for most of my life but the Steam Deck definitely feels like it has several years of life left in it. I'm mostly filling mine up with PC and console games from the last 30 years but even Baldur's Gate 3 works fine on it. There's a huge library of games for the system, especially when you include emulators.
I'd much rather Valve continue working on Proton to get more Windows games running on the Deck and improving overall performance of the OS.
