I don't think a new version will come out at all. Steam Deck profits are like console profits, it's sold very little margin to get you into the ecosystem, in this case Steam. But when ASUS, Lenovo, and everyone else is making similar devices that run Steam anyways, Valve's profit stream will be there whether they make the devices or not. At release the Steam Deck competed with the Nintendo Switch, which doesn't run Steam. The Steam Deck has pushed Steam into the handheld market, but other devices can keep it going without a second Steam Deck.
