It’s time to get out your Steam Deck to test out a big feature that’s also accessible on PC via Valve’s in-house launcher.
Will there be a Steam Deck 2 so as not to leave all the space for the Nintendo Switch 2? This is clearly a wish from Valve, but it won’t come true immediately. As Lawrence Yang, designer at the company, explains again, there is no desire to release machines every year or at least at regular intervals. In addition, the company has only launched an OLED model for now. For a true second version, stronger, Yang and his teams want one “Significant technological leap”.
A new feature for the Steam Deck is here
Even though there won’t be a replacement for the Steam Deck in the coming months, teams in their own corner are thinking about it. And above all, the current machine has even more up its sleeve and proves this with excellent, very practical functionality. THE new game registration systemwhich released on PC on November 6, 2024, is also available on console/laptop PC. This new feature allows you to record your gaming sessions just like you do elsewhere.
“Background recording mode continuously records your gameplay on the storage device of your choice, within the storage space and duration limits you set. A manual recording mode is also available: recording is then started and then stopped manually.. This mode, accessible via a Steam Deck, also allows editing to keep only the important excerpts and making markers to quickly create a clip that can be shared on social networks, for example.
« Game recording works great with Steam Deck » Valve announces. As with Steam, we assume that the designers took care to use as few resources as possible so as not to affect the games’ performance. However, this still needs to be verified in real use.
