More teasers appear for upcoming Valve hardware
Just recently I wrote about potential new hardware coming from Valve related to "Galileo" and "Sephiroth" that could be a Steam Deck refresh or new VR kit. Now we have basic initial details on a device being certified in South Korea.
We still have no idea what it will be, so this is all pure speculation as usual until Valve actually announce something.
This next one comes from Brad Lynch on X , who found it. The certification (translated) dated August 28th reads:
Specific low-power wireless devices (wireless devices for wireless access systems including wireless LAN (5150-5350 MHz, 5470-5850 MHz frequency band))
Not really much at all to go on, except whatever this is it will have 5GHz WiFi. Many devices have WiFi capabilities including the Steam Deck, so it's still not much.
Doesn't really point either way to it being a Steam Deck refresh or the long leaked Deckard VR headset. However, from patents, we did see previously the Deckard VR kit will have a standalone mode so perhaps this is related to that? On top of that, we've seen Valve begin to improve SteamVR for Linux again recently so I am definitely leaning more into this all being work towards the successor to the Index.
Additionally, Lynch also noticed that there's actually a Valve Galilieo-specific mirror of Steam OS that's password protected.
Clearly, Valve are up to something. What do you think it will end up being?
