Despite the expectations surrounding the Steam Deck 2,

What expectations? Valve has flat out said its not happening yet because the hardware isn't there yet.

Have they said that recently? The only definitive comment I remember from them was something along the lines "definitely not in the next 2-3 years" around launch, which was 3 years ago.

Not saying that means I "expect" it's happening, just curious if you know of anything more recent that says its not happening.

"So we really do want to wait for a generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life before we ship the real second generation of Steam Deck. But it is something that we're excited about and we're working on."

As of October 2024, this would suggest we hadn't yet had that "generational leap" at the time of writing.

When AMD was talking about RDNA4 one or two months ago, there were rumors that it would be for the new Steam Deck, and Valve claimed that it wasn't, and that it was still a long way out.
