Last week we covered Valve’s confirmation that there will eventually be a “Steam Deck 2.” The company snuck this into an online booklet introducing its console to four new Asian markets, where customers can now reserve Steam Decks for the first time.

According to developers, the company is already working on future iterations of its successful handheld console-all while preparing a handful of games for launch. Valve, the one-stop-shop video game developer, distributor, and gaming hardware maker, has an exciting future ahead.
