While we know that Valve have said repeatedly not to expect a faster Steam Deck 2 any time soon, it appears they may still be doing some kind of refreshed Steam Deck.

Just recently I wrote about potential new hardware coming from Valve related to "Galileo" and "Sephiroth" that could be a Steam Deck refresh or new VR kit. Now we have basic initial details on a device being certified in South Korea.

There's been a whole lot of rumours appearing lately that seem quite credible, with Counter-Strike 2 apparently due soon.

What are you up to Valve? Gamescope, software used on the Steam Deck for Gaming Mode that handles displaying everything recently had some VR work pulled in. Perhaps for the upcoming Deckard VR HMD?

Neon Prime isn't here yet, and there's nothing actually confirmed about it, but data miner and leaker Tyler McVicker gave a fresh overview on what to expect.

We're seeing more reports of Steam for Chromebooks coming and Luke Short writing for Android Police thinks it will be soon.

There's been some reports circulating thanks to YouTuber Tyler McVicker (previously known as Valve News Network) that goes into some detail about what Valve is up to. Seems like we might get an RTS/FPS hybrid for the Steam Deck.

Back in June we reported on a patent from Valve that indicated work progressing towards their next VR headset and it appears the codename is Deckard.

With the Steam Deck upcoming, what do we think the chances are that Valve will reveal a new game to go along side it?

Thanks to new info spotted by Chrome Unboxed, we've seen more hints of a more powerful Chromebook coming which would make for a reasonable gaming unit.
