    That’s basically all this is, same as they did for other components like fans and SSDs already.

    The new wifi chip might be faster or support more recent standards, but that’s hardly worth even calling it a product refresh.

    I’m disappointed the Verge published these claims of “OMG this is a stealth upgrade!!1” with literally no other evidence.

      Evidence for: new WiFi chip
      Evidence against: valve literally said they weren’t going to do it

      Conclusion: steam deck 2!!!1!!

        I do not believe that Valve would say they were not going to do it then do it.

        I just bought a SteamDeck as they said they were not going to release any upgrades. I do not care if it is just minor stuff, but if they release SteamDeck2 with a new CPU, I would be a little frustrated with Valve.

        valve literally said they weren’t going to do it

        Raspberry pi said so as well. Month later, the new model was released.
