Just bought my Deck this year and with Valve not offering any sort of trade-in program or self-upgrade kits at the moment, I figure a lot of owners are also asking themselves the same thing. I know that the Steam Deck 2 will eventually come at some point and my current one works perfectly fine, but the OLED screen, wifi chip, and better battery are REALLY enticing to me. Battery life especially because that is one of my biggest hangups with the first generation models.
Anyone else on the fence too?
OLED on its own is a massive update, especially if you play handheld only. Add 90hz and HDR and we’ve got ourselves some beautiful eye candy to look forward to! That said if the OLED is not an incentive for you, there’s no real reason to upgrade.
