New Steam Deck just passed through the FCC — but is this Steam Deck 2?

A refreshed Steam Deck could be coming

…as spotted by Brad Lynch and TVKilledMi on X/Twitter, this model does support 6GHz triple-band Wi-Fi — suggesting that it has either Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7. The original Steam Deck doesn’t even have Wi-Fi 6.

    What’s this workaround you speak of? Been meaning to do something with my spare 3b

      Make sure all your apps are up to date. Then:

      sudo apt install steamlink

      Then type steamlink

      Then when you want to launch steamlink, press alt+ctrl+F1

      Then type steamlink

      Acknowledge the warnings for low video memory (doesn’t matter)

      Press enter the few times it prompts you

      Then it will launch steam link

      Connect your computer as you normally would

      Then when you’re done with steamlink, stop streaming using the menu in steam.

      Then press alt+ctrl+F7 to get back to your OS.

      I’m doing this on Raspbian on both my 3b and 4 pi.

      The subsequent times you launch, you will only have to type alt+ctrl+F1 and then Steamlink, followed by 1 extra “enter”. Use the F7 method above to get back out.

      It took like 2 hours of random internet forum sleuthing to piece all this together. Hope it helps some of you!

      Pro tip - Connect your Xbox controller to Raspbian and Steamlink will automatically recognize it. I have better luck with that than trying to connect using Steam settings.
