It looks like Valve won’t be releasing an OLED model of its handheld Steam Deck in the near future.
Steam Deck designer Pierre-Loup Griffais commented on the feasibility of an OLED model in an interview with PC Gamer, in which he explained why it won’t be possible in the near future.
“The screen’s at the core of the device,” Griffais explained. Putting in an OLED screen to replace the Steam Deck’s LCD screen wouldn’t be a simple swap, he continued, as all of the components are architected around each other for a device that’s so small.
