Valve is currently working on a sequel to the Steam Controller, along with a controller for its Deckard VR headset, according to spatial computing expert and unofficial Valve oracle Brad Lynch, whose datamining frequently uncovers interesting details on Valve products.
According to Lynch, both the Steam Controller 2 (codenamed “Ibex”) and a controller for the currently unconfirmed Deckard VR headset–aptly codenamed “Roy,” an homage to Blade Runner’s renegade Replicant, Roy Batty–are under development at Valve. Per Lynch, both products are reportedly “being tooled for a mass production goal in [Valve’s] factories right now.”
“That’s why I know they’re in later stages of productization,” Lynch added in a post on Twitter.
