- Valve appears to have pushed a new Steam Deck through the FCC’s certification process without anybody noticing.
- No one noticed until now because Valve snuck the device through using its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip vendor.
- The refreshed Steam Deck could have more to it than just a new Wi-Fi 6E chip.
Valve’s Steam Deck developers have made it painfully clear not to expect a Steam Deck 2 until at least 2025. But that doesn’t mean we can’t expect Valve to release a revised version of the current handheld PC. In fact, it looks like a refreshed Steam Deck snuck its way through the FCC not too long ago.
According to The Verge, a Steam Deck with a new model number stopped by the FCC back on August 13. That model number happens to be the same model number that was attached to a mystery Valve device that went through South Korea’s National Radio Research Agency — 1030.
