Valve talks about the future of Steam Deck and Steam OS in a new book

Valve talks about the future of Steam Deck and Steam OS in a new book

As I mentioned GamingOnLinux Ahead of the Tokyo Game Show, which begins on September 15, Valve has now produced a 50-page book where they introduce themselves, Steam and Steam Deck. This is ahead of the imminent launch of Steam Deck in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Valve goes in the book, available at her websiteThrough the way the company started as a game developer to trace its transition to platform development with Steam and the work that culminated in the creation of Steam Deck.

Perhaps most interestingly, the book addresses and confirms some of Valve’s future plans. It once again mentions that a public version of Steam OS will be released “soon” for PC and consoles. It also mentions that Steam OS should be made available to other manufacturers who want to create their own versions of Steam Deck or even their own consoles.

Finally, in the book, Valve conveys her thoughts on the future of Steam Decks. There is talk that there will be continuous development of both software and hardware, as software improvements will be implemented in Steam’s big picture mode. Furthermore, working on compatibility should be able to benefit Chromebook owners when Chrome OS gets Steam support.

Unfortunately, we don’t get anything concrete about a potential Steam Deck 2, but Valve confirms that they will be releasing more open and capable versions of Steam Deck for a long time to come.

What do you think of Steam Deck and what do you want to see in “Steam Deck 2”?
