...as spotted by Brad Lynch and TVKilledMi on X/Twitter, this model does support 6GHz triple-band Wi-Fi — suggesting that it has either Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7. The original Steam Deck doesn’t even have Wi-Fi 6.
New Steam Deck just passed through the FCC — but is this Steam Deck 2? | (Spoiler No)

Wait, it doesn't use WiFi 6?
The fuck? I had no idea

I had the same reaction when I found out that the OG PS4 only did 2.4GHz.

Awesome, I appreciate you!

Seems like it's probably a console/mini PC. I would assume it will come with Steam OS. We'll see!

They already did this 5 years back and it was a failure. The Steam controller was neat though.
Now Proton has had more time, it makes sense that they would revisit this though
Nighed@sffa.community · 7 pts · 2y
The software support (proton) wasn't where is it now though. They also did it through third parties instead of in house.
Could be interesting, they could probably market it.

They made a streaming box, not a console or mini PC.
majestictechie@lemmy.fosshost.com · 3 pts · 2y
Nah, they made what was basically a Linux based Steam console too: https://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/valve-steam-box-release-date-news-and-features-1127072

"licensed by – but not designed – by Valve"
That's a key difference.

A home console only slightly more powerful than the Deck (as reported) would be a flop. It would be less powerful than the PS4. People will be plugging this into 4k 120hz TVs.
I'd be very surprised if it was a home console unless they have some kind of magic upscaling they've built into Proton.

If they manage to put in a 7600 class GPU and sell the whole thing for under $500, it would be a winner. You could build a PC like that, so given the economies of scale, that should be doable.

I wonder if there is so many 4k tv around.
derpgon@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y
Some 32" TVs are 4k, 99% of 43"+ TVs are 4k. Most people can afford them because they are very cheap. Usually 90Hz, mostly 100Hz, sometimes 120 or 150Hz

It is a console, steam box 2.0

Is it possibly their rumored standalone/wireless VR headset?
I just bought a Quest 3, but I'd sell it and go for whatever VR headset valve comes out with next, as long as it's not $1000 like the Index.
