Refresh features include: OLED HDR 90 hz Better battery life (50wh vs 40wh) Cooler Lighter Even better performance, even though not advertised by Valve! (because of the better DDR memory 6400mt/s vs 55000mt/s) Bigger screen
Digital Foundry review:
You might want to buy this one because there’s no way Valve releases a third one
Valve has already started talking to press outlets about their plans for a Steam Deck 2 in two to three years.

For what it is worth, I’ve had a few games that weren’t officially supported so I just turned on the Proton setting and it’s worked so far. Online multiplayer seems to be a sticking point though due to anti-cheat.
Depends. How techy are you? None of those games are officially supported on the Steam Deck, but Valve lets you dig around under the hood and install whatever you want. However, anything that isn’t on Steam and officially supported will require some work for you to get running. That said, you can play just about anything on the Deck if you’re willing to put in the time. The touchpads make the Deck very capable on traditionally kb/m games.
