Against all odds, the release of the Steam Deck has gone very well all things considered. Valve's first foray into handheld consoles was poised to run afoul of many speed bumps, especially considering that the company's main profile isn't hardware at all. In the wake of that launch, we can now also look forward to multiple games on the way.
Valve is apparently working on several games right now, according to Greg Coomer who is a designer at the company. The Steam Deck already delivered a surprise release with Aperture Desk Job, a brief instructional game for the console sharing a setting with Portal. It's a far cry from being Portal 3, but the company's first game since Half-Life Alyx.

Of course, this is Valve, so this isn't exactly a rock-solid assurance - who knows how many years any of these projects are from being finished, or how many of them will ever actually be released? Valve's output of mainline games has really tapered off since Dota 2, with the years since then sprinkled with releases like Artifact and Alyx as well as a number of collaborations, spin-offs and ports.
