Valve is continuing to improve the Steam Deck, and gamers will definitely appreciate the changes. Battery improvements are on the way. With the Steam Deck launching in Australia soon, one of Valve’s designers mentioned that they plan to improve battery life by 10-15%, depending on the game.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remember February 2022? That was when the Steam Deck launched and almost revolutionized the market for portable gaming devices. Its success and millions of units sold encouraged companies like ASUS, Lenovo, and MSI to compete with Valve by launching their own devices. However, Steam Deck has something unique\u2014its system is Linux-based, and its software is constantly improved with updates that the community appreciates.<\/p>\n

Ahead of its Australian debut in November, one of Valve’s hardware engineers, Yazan Aldehayyat, gave an interview to Press Start<\/em>. In the interview, he discussed Valve\u2019s portable console and the upcoming improvements. Developers are hard at work optimizing the battery life of the Steam Deck LCD, even though the OLED version has already seen significant improvement in this area.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Steam Deck battery life is about to get better<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

“We\u2019re continually investing in, even now, the first generation of the Steam Deck LCD. So we\u2019re pushing out software updates, firmware updates, and all the improvements we\u2019ve made for OLED, we\u2019re trying to bring to LCD. That\u2019s why SteamOS is coming soon. Depending on the game, users can expect 10-15% more usable battery life,”<\/em> Aldehayyat explains. He adds that improving battery life is a constant goal.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think battery life is something we\u2019ll ever stop working on. We\u2019re always looking to improve it, as it will impact future models as well,”<\/em> he says. While we still have a few months to wait before learning more about Steam Deck 2 and its possible release, Valve is first focused on finalizing SteamOS support, which may take some time.<\/p>\n
