Official steam bridge pier could be coming soon as Valve claims to overcome current supply issues. While there are already plenty of suitable alternatives on the market, the gaming PC giant is aiming for a true “maximum peripheral” experience.
In an interview with IGN, Valve’s UX designer Lawrence Young spoke about the official steam bridge pier development issues, but reports that the company “hopes to have something to announce soon.” Supply constraints seem to be the main reason for the propeller launch delay, as the dock is manufactured in a different location than the bridge.
Of course, not all issues with Valve’s Steam Deck are hardware related, as portable software plays a huge role in compatibility. Yang says that “every USB dock benefits from all the work we do on SteamOS,” as recent updates have helped improve the experience provided by third-party alternatives.
If you already own a portable power station from Valve, you’ll likely consider our Steam Deck Dock as our top choice. While testing the Jsaux port, we found some quirks that relate directly to how SteamOS interacts with in-game mouse and keyboard controls, so it’s likely we’ll see a fix before the port’s official debut.
However, the Steam Deck has apparently relinquished its status as virtual software as seen live at TGS 2022. The version shown may be a prototype or test model, but it still looks more like the ‘real accessory than it does in the picture. above configuration and render.
In addition to the Steam Dock snippets, Valve’s Lawrence Yang and Eric Peterson also provided some ideas for Steam Deck 2. When asked if the cards featured finer gameplay, Peterson listed potential performance issues, caveats about the size of the screen and the advantages and disadvantages of comfort. Yang adds reduced battery capacity to the same list, but alludes to gap mitigation.
