Valve’s rumored portable PC gaming device codenamed ‘SteamPal’ could launch in late 2021 Valve’s Steam Controller | Photo credit: Valve / YouTube screenshot Wednesday, May 26, 2021 9:00 AM UTC Valve is reportedly taking another major shot at selling a hardware product. The hardware under development will still focus on PC games, except it is designed to be used on the go like Nintendo Switch. SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik shared his observations on the Steam client beta on Tuesday. The developer noticed that an update once again contained references to a device named “Neptune,” which was first spotted last September. This time, however, “NeptuneName” has been attached to another unknown item called “SteamPal” and “SteamPal Games.”
