After the mysterious “Valve 1030” appeared in the Korean regulatory agency a few days ago, it appeared again in the FCC on August 13 and was clearly marked as Steam Deck.

The device is only now being reported in the media because Valve commissioned Quectel to register it, and Valve detectives Brad Lynch and @TVKilledMi first discovered it.

According to the published document information, Quectel submitted a Class II license change to use the certified Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth chip FC66E on the new Steam Deck. This wireless chip has already passed the certification and does not require additional certification for the new Steam Deck. .

The Steam Deck mentioned in the current document only has improved support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth, and other changes are unknown.

It was previously reported that Steam Deck engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais told The Verge that he hopes to see a leap in performance without having a major impact on battery life. Steam Deck 2 may not reach this standard until the end of 2025 or longer. . “I don’t expect such a leap in the next few years,” the engineer noted via email.

Fever friend @balika011 recently released a tweet, said successfully transformed the Steam Deck game handheld, so that the memory capacity to expand to 32GB.

The whole process of modification is not easy, @balika011 said that the need to desolder the memory chip, and then re-soldering to install a larger capacity chip, the whole process is very complicated. It’s impossible to reproduce this modification for the average gamer who doesn’t have the necessary tools and skills.

Check @balika011 related tweets, he did not share the performance improvement after the memory expansion, just the sunshine picture showing the memory capacity of 30.2GB.

The Steam Deck comes standard with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, which is still plenty for running Linux and playing games, and Valve won’t be releasing a new Steam Deck with more RAM for a while.

Steam conducts a monthly survey of player data for each game to help companies and game developers adjust their future development decisions. Considering that Steam games can be played offline, the final data is not 100% accurate.

Compared to shooter games that require precise aiming operations, combat works like Street Fighter 6 and Elden Law Ring, which emphasize a sense of fast combat, are more likely to be flocked by handheld players; GTA 5 has seen a further boost in monthly activity because of the new DLC that was updated recently.

In the all-platform, the top games ranking are:

  1. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO)
  2. Dota 2
  3. Legion Fortress 2
  4. Apex Heroes
  5. GTA 5
  6. Corruption (Rust)
  7. Destiny 2
  8. Unturned
  9. BattleBit Remastered
  10. Jedi Battle Royale

We previously reported Valve’s views on the next generation of Steam Deck. At that time, the developers said that in addition to performance, they also hope to improve the screen quality of Steam Deck, but they also emphasized that this work is not easy, and it needs to work closely with other components. Cooperate. But recently, according to a report from NotebookCheck, a company called FX Technology has gone one step ahead, announcing that they have developed a new screen for Steam Deck, called Deck HD.

On the premise of keeping the 7-inch IPS screen unchanged, the resolution of DeckHD has been increased to 1920×1200, and the color gamut coverage has reached 95% sRGB. Compared with the 1280×800 and 67% sRGB of the original machine, DeckHD should be able to have more pictures and colors At the same time, it also has an anti-glare coating, which is only available on the high-end model of the original Steam Deck.

However, in terms of brightness and refresh rate, Deck HD has not made much change, it is still 400 nits and 60Hz, which may be due to some problems in battery life.

At present, FX Technology intends to set the price of the component at 99 US dollars, but they have not yet announced the specific release date. Interested players can register relevant information on the official website to be reminded when the sale starts.

For players with strong hands-on ability, DeckHD is indeed a good upgrade component. But if you want to get a native 1080P gaming experience, then players should buy a host with stronger configuration. After all, Steam Deck’s SoC is designed to satisfy this 720P screen, and upgrading to a 1200P screen may have a certain impact on performance and battery life.

Valve was sued by Immersion Corporation for its game hardware device Steam Deck handheld and vibration feedback technology (Index rumble).

It is learned that Immersion is a tactile feedback company that has purchased, developed and accumulated a large number of patents on rumble technology, from which almost all large technology companies have obtained authorization or reached settlements, among which Sony and Microsoft are in litigation and After the settlement, both obtained a patent license from Immersion. Apple, Google, Motorola and Fitbit also reached settlements. Nintendo was not sued.

Now it’s accusing Valve of infringing its patents, including the Steam Deck handheld device, the Valve Index VR platform, SteamVR software and games like Half-Life: Alyx. (Not mentioning Valve’s obsolete Steam controller, which also uses a lot of vibration feedback)

Immersion is seeking damages, royalties, and an injunction “to prohibit the deployment, operation, maintenance, testing, and use of the alleged Steam Deck handheld and VR devices.” The company filed the lawsuit in U.S. federal court, Western District of Washington, on May 15, citing patents 7336260, 8749507, 9430042, 9116546, 10627907, 10665067 and 11175738.

There was no immediate response from Valve. The Steam Deck handheld topped Steam’s weekly bestseller list again last week, with sales of the handheld surpassing 1 million units.

The official Twitter account for Cyberpunk 2077 released a picture yesterday showing the “Steam Love Giving Award” trophy that CDPR recently won.

The award, from the 2022 Steam Annual Awards, was announced on January 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 won the “2022 Love Giving Award” with the official Steam comment: “This game has been out for a while. The game team has long since passed the stage where the fruits of their creativity cropped up. But they have been wonderful parents, continuing to nourish and support their ideas. Even after all these years, the game continues to roll out new content to this day.”

The award did cause some controversy after it was presented, as Cyberpunk 2077 has been fixing bugs since its release, and the first episode of DLC has still not been released.

CDPR officially announced on April 27 that Cyberpunk 2077 DLC “Shadows of the Past” will be released at Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles in June. CDPR said it will offer press and content creators a demo session at Summer Game Fest, and plans to offer players more opportunities to try out the game afterward.

According to CDPR, “Shadows of the Past” is a new spy thriller DLC for the game, set in a new area of the Night City. In addition to the familiar Keanu Reeves continuing to play Johnny Silverhand, actor Idris Elba will also join the material, playing the new United States of America secret agent Solomon Reid.
