As a Steam Deck user that doesn’t know an awful lot about tech specs and the inner-workings of these sorts of things, I’m curious why the the new OLED release wasn’t considered enough of an improvement over the LCD model to be considered the “Steam Deck 2”? The better screen, better battery life, and better storage all seem like huge improvements. Was not enough changed about it? Do you think there will ever be a big Steam Deck 2 release, or just occasional (big) refreshes like this, meaning Deck owners will just have to decide when enough has changed for them to justify an upgrade?

Note: I own the 512gig LCD model and I LOVE it. It opened up a world of gaming that I always wanted to explore, but always seemed pretty cost-prohibitive.

    Same chip, same performance. If they did call it the Deck 2 the Internet would get so angry at them.
