If Gabe Newell showed up to my house I would run and hide, I would assume I was in trouble. However, he’s going around the Seattle area, HAND DELIVERING the Steam Deck. I don’t believe in Valves track record on sticking with things, but wow, I really like that.

This is not an official model render from Valve. This is community made, and has nothing to do with Half-Life: Alyx. This is a fake leak.

Look, I don't know if it will happen, but everyone is saying that they want the announcement to occur before the end of 2025. I am not able to confirm anything. However, I also cannot debunk this. Stay realistic. Stay reasonable. Have some fun.
